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 flavour. approx 100 seeds per packet approx 4 grams.

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.

All Cucumber Sativus (beth alpha) must now be treated with a fungicide in Australia and tested for Cucumber Green Mottle Mosaic Virus. This fungicide is an AQIS requirement. It does not harm your crops or harm insects such as bees. Do not eat the seeds or feed them to animals. This is not Franchi Sementi Seed but is sourced from a very good quality supplier.
