The Italian Gardener

These Lebanese-type cucumbers have a very thin skin, absolutely no bitterness, and are productive over a long season. One of the earliest to produce, and should go until a frost, and are one of the best all around cucumbers available. Pick them when they are about five or six inches long for best flavor.

They do well on a trellis but you can grow them on the ground also. Set out transplants or direct seed 1m apart with 3-5 seeds per hill. Thin to three best plants with rows 2m apart.
