Cucumbers do well wither direct sown or started inside early. Plant seeds 1" deep and when trellising 6-8" apart. Train the plants to climb with initial guidance. Alternatively, you can make hills about 12" high and about six feet apart. Plant 5-8 seeds on each hill 1" deep. After germination thin to three or four plants.
Care:
Cucumbers like full sun, except in very hot climates they should receive afternoon shade. Grow in rich, well-draining soil. Cucumbers are mostly water and perform best with consistent watering applications. Be sure and plant where insects can pollinate. Plant in rich draining soil.
These cucumbers are call 'Double Yield' because when you pick one cucumber two more will grow. Gardeners today love not only its productivity, but also its crisp and juicy texture and melon-like taste. A very early pickling type, this variety bears fruits that are best for canning or fresh eating when 4-5" long. Early- to mid-season maturity.
