Notes
'Adam Gherkin' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Adam Gherkin') is a vegetable for container and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. The climbing vines grow fast and give fruit in 47 days. Bees visit the summer flowers.
Pairs well with Red Robin tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Peione parsley.
