| 45 days. No more fooling with trellises and stakes! This Park Space-saver saves garden space by growing its abundant crop on a compact, bushy plant just 3 to 4 feet wide! The fruit is just right for pickling -- 4 inches long, light to mid-green, with a crisp, tender flavor. Bush Pickle has been an outstanding performer in our trial gardens, and we think you'll find it not only compact but very prolific! Direct-sow seeds in a sunny spot after all danger of frost is past, or start indoors and transplant when the first true leaf appears. Cucumbers can be allowed to grow on the ground, but for longer, straighter fruit and to save garden space, grow them in a cage or on a trellis, allowing 1 foot between plants. Keep them well-watered, and keep the fruits picked promptly. Pkt is 30 seeds. |
