Planted Cucumber Seeds

This afternoon I planted four cucumber species we will be testing this year:

• Baby Cucumber Cucino (Ready for harvest in 46 days - June 11th)

• Cucumber Diva (Ready for harvest in 58 days - June 23rd)
• Cucumber Sweet Slice Hybrid (Ready for harvest in 62 days - June 28th)

Sweet Success Hybrid is a truly seedless cucumber and should be planted away from any other cucumbers to prevent it from pollinating, in such case a few undeveloped seeds may be present. They were planted in the garden north of the house. The others were planted in the garden north of the shop.
