Notes
'Early Fortune Cucumber' (Cucumis sativus 'Early Fortune Cucumber') is a 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. Its vines spread 35 to 94 inches, so give them room to roam. Flowers open from early to late summer and bring in bees and butterflies.
Pairs well with Cherry Belle radish, Nasturtium, Sunflower, and Dill.
