Notes
'Manny F1' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Manny F1') is a climbing vegetable for food gardens, 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. It resists powdery mildew in the source, so give it good air flow anyway.
Pairs well with Cherry Bomb tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Giant of Italy parsley.
