Notes
'Demeter' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Demeter') is a climbing vegetable for the food garden, containers, and borders. 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. It grows rapidly and blooms from early to late summer, which draws bees. Fruit is ready in 48 days.
Pairs well with Super Fantastic tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Peione parsley.
