Notes
'Corinto' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Corinto') is a climbing vegetable for the food garden, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It is grown for fresh eating and is ready to pick in 48 days. Bees visit its green flowers from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Hungarian Heart Tomato tomato, Fern Leaf dill, and Bloody Butcher corn.
