About This

• Mini-Me F1 Organic Cucumber, a mini Beit Alpha (Cucumis sativa) variety, among the more popular cucumber types, is grown as a fruit vegetable. Mini-Me is an early variety that sets small, uniform, nearly spineless fruits, approximately 2 to 3 inches long, with thin, smooth skin and mild, slightly sweet flavor. Use these snack-sized mini cucumbers in fresh foods and beverages or pickle them.
• Mini-Me F1 Organic Cucumber, an herbaceous annual, is a member of the cucurbit family (Curcurbitaceae). Cucumbers are tropical plants that love warm temperatures and high humidity. Dependable and high yielding, Mini-Me grows vigorously, quickly forming a low-growing, far-spreading vine.
• Training the tendril-bearing vines to grow vertically on support ensures better air circulation, produces straighter fruit, helps prevent disease, and makes harvest easier.
• Easy to grow from seed, Mini-Me F1 Organic Cucumber prefers full sun and loose, rich, slightly acid, well-drained soil. Cucumbers require frequent watering for proper growth, but leaves should be kept dry. If plants are watered too infrequently or grown in too much shade, fruits will be bitter tasting.
• Regular composting is also recommended. Harvest cucumbers when young, before they over ripen and turn yellow. Harvest often to promote heavier fruit product. Mini-Me is also suitable for indoor gardens and hydroponic growing.
