Days to Maturity: 57 from direct sow
The most disease resistant cuke ever grown is also uniquely versatile. Unlike most varieties, which are grown specifically for use in pickling or in fresh eating, Eureka can do both—deliciously.
This dark-green, white-spined, firm cucumber reaches anywhere from 1½ to 5 inches long, depending on how young you want to pick it. Harvest the fruit early for pickling and it will make the darkest green batch of pickles you ever saw. Let it grow on a bit and it's a fabulous fresh slicer for salads and snacks. How nice to find a cucumber that meets all your needs.
Eureka's package of disease resistance is almost unbelievable. This little cuke is resistant to angular leaf spot, downy mildew, papaya ring spot, scab, watermelon mosaic virus, zucchini yellow virus, anthracnose races 1 and 2, cucumber mosaic virus, and powdery mildew. If you've ever had problems with diseases on your cuke crops, switch to Eureka and find out how easy this vegetable really can be to grow.
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. Eureka reaches 4 to 6 feet high and 2 feet wide.

Had to review againIt is now mid-September here in NJ. Started to strip the garden (small raised 4x8). Cukes were done or so I thought. One plant (only trellised 4 plants mind you on June 1) and noticed that last plant had more cukes to come. Went out this morning to a plant that looks done yet here hanging are FIVE half sized cukes to be picked I'd say in 3 more days. It was ungodly hot here this Summer and this mass producer kept me on my toes...I don't know exactly how many cukes I ended up with but well over 60 and NOT ONE ISSUE! Can't wait til Spring!!!

Awesome!Last year planted random cukes. Produced NOTHING and succumbed to every disease possible not to mention cucumber beetle infestation. Planted 3 plants on a trellis...it's the end of July and already harvested 40 cukes! Great for eating and have been making refrigerator pickles to give away. They slowed down I think because NJ weather has been ungodly hot and humid. So far, other than slowing production...no disease or pests! Knock on wood. Will definitely plant again.

Poor germination 2020I have grown this variety previously. I always germinate large seeds on wet paper towels indoors under a light for warmth, and have used this method successfully for years. I monitor the temp to make sure it does not get too hot. This year, I had very poor germination of these seeds. Out of the first 5 seeds I started, only one was vigorous; two others finally germinated and looked sickly. I started another batch, but none of those germinated. I finally found some old cucumber seeds and started them. The plant from the very first seed is now producing, and perhaps the plants from the other two seeds will eventually produce.

Great cucumbersI like the blocky style of these cucumbers - they are fine for eating fresh or for pickling. Raise them just about every year.

holy cucumbersi live in central florida with super high humidity and have had problems with powdery mildew and fungus with cucumbers in the past in my greenhouse. I planted these on august 11 with daytime temps of mid 90s got 80% germ within 7 days put them in a hydroponic system and it is now sept 23 and my plants have cucumbers at every node that are 1 to 5 inches long. plants are beautiful and no issues . a must have

Perfect for greenhousesThis variety of cucumber is perfect for our greenhouse. They are self pollinating, and powdery mildew resistant. I have picked them at 3-4 inches to pickle, or let them grow be slicing cucumbers. They are not bitter at all!

Did great up until the really hot monthsGreat producer. Very crisp. Did not make pickles but seems like a good choice. Even in hot, humid, coastal GA no problems with powdery mildew. Did succumb along with everything else to pest insects, but I am reluctant to use insecticides.

Great cukeGrew fast, lots of cukes, mildew at the end of the season, will grow again this year.

Great Production in a bad yearMy cucumbers did not do well last year, but these pickling types were fantastic. They produced large amounts of pickles right until frost. We canned 7 gallons of pickles and had a lot more in salads to replace our cucumbers. I am planting these again!
