Long, slender fruit tastes like a cucumber. The Armenian cucumber grows approximately 15 to 25 inches long. Grow plant in full sun. The fruit is most flavorful when it reaches 12 to 15 inches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstructions on how to grow Cucumber: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCucumber plants are seeded or transplanted outside in the ground no earlier than 2 weeks after last frost date. Cucumbers are extremely susceptible to frost damage; the soil must be at least 70F for germination. Do not plant outside too soon! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore you plant outside, select a site with full sun. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoil should be neutral or slightly alkaline with a pH of 7.0. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCucumbers require fertile soil. Mix in compost and\/or aged manure before planting to a depth of 2 inches and work into the soil 6 to 8 inches deep. Make sure that soil is moist and well-drained, not soggy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImprove clay soil by adding organic matter. Improve dense, heavy soil by adding peat, compost or rotted manure. Light, sandy soils are preferred for northern gardens, as they warm quickly in the spring. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant seedlings one inch deep and about 36 to 60 inches apart, depending on variety. For vines trained on a trellis, space plants 1 foot apart. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor an early crop, start cucumber seeds indoors about 3 weeks before you transplant them in the ground. They like bottom heat of about 70F (21C). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA trellis is a good idea if you want the vine to climb, or if you have limited space.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Mountain Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47694456029443,"sku":"6243865173","price":13.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/3715\/8915\/files\/cucumber-armenian-long-10-seeds-70-day-harvest-vegetable-heirloom-non-gmo-881868.jpg?v=1769701346","url":"https:\/\/ishipmyplants.com\/products\/cucumber-armenian-long-10-seeds-70-day-harvest-vegetable-heirloom-non-gmo","provider":"I Ship My Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
