Notes
'Gateway' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Gateway') is a climbing vegetable for the food garden, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Plants grow quickly and bloom from early to late summer, which draws bees. Fruits are ready about 56 days after planting.
Pairs well with Mushroom Basket Tomato tomato, Persian basil, and Moss Curled parsley.
