High yield, excellent taste and pickling properties made this classic hybrid the gardener’s favorite! Mid-early hybrid for growing in open ground and spring greenhouses. Fruits are dark green, cylindrical, mid-lumpy and black-spiky. They are 2 to 3 inches (5-8 cm) long and weighting 3 oz (80 g). Fruits have excellent taste without bitterness, are crunchy and retain their density when canned. The variety is resistant to downy mildew and bacterial wilt.
Planting instructions:
Cucumber 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 70ºF (20ºC) for germination. Do not plant outside too soon! Before you plant outside, select a site with full sun. Soil should be neutral or slightly alkaline with a pH of 7.0. Cucumbers require fertile soil. Mix in compost and/or aged manure before planting to a depth of 2 inches (5 cm) and work into the soil 6 to 8 inches (15-20 cm) deep. Make sure that soil is moist and well-drained, not soggy. Light, sandy soils are preferred for northern gardens, as they warm quickly in the spring. For an early crop, start cucumber seeds indoors about 3 weeks before you transplant them in the ground. They like bottom heat of about 70ºF (20ºC). Once the ground is warm, mulch with pine straw, chopped leaves, or another organic mulch to keep pests at bay, and also keep bush types off the ground to avoid disease. Also trellis is a good idea.

Most seedlings survived, the summer heat seemd to damage these easer compared to its relative species.

I was at a loss until I found these and pulled off a growing season of some veggies that fed two families. Not much, but better than nothing. With the weird temps in Canada.With fresh seed, the germination was good.Planted 3 per pot.
