Notes
'Cubit' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Cubit') is a climbing vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It grows at a rapid rate and blooms from early to late summer. The flowers attract bees, and the vines can climb a trellis.
Pairs well with Nasturtium, Dill, African marigold, and Cherry Belle radish.
