About This

• Unlike most varieties, which are grown specifically for use in pickling or in fresh eating, Eureka can do both—deliciously.
• This dark-green, white-spined, firm cucumber reaches anywhere from 1½ to 5 inches long, depending on how young you want to pick it. Harvest the fruit early for pickling and it will make the darkest green batch of pickles you ever saw. Let it grow on a bit and it's a fabulous fresh slicer for salads and snacks. How nice to find a cucumber that meets all your needs.
• Eureka's package of resilience is almost unbelievable. If you've ever had problems with growing healthy cuke crops, switch to Eureka and find out how easy this vegetable really can be to grow.
• Direct sow seeds in a sunny spot after all danger of frost is past, or start indoors and transplant when the first true leaf appears. Cucumbers can be allowed to grow on the ground, but for longer, straighter fruit and to save garden space, grow them in a cage or on a trellis, allowing 1 foot between plants. Keep them well watered, and keep the fruits picked promptly. Eureka reaches 4 to 6 feet high and 2 feet wide.
• Days to Maturity: 57 from direct sow. Seeds Per Pack: 30
