Notes
'Mexican Sour Gherkin' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Mexican Sour Gherkin') is a climbing vegetable grown for its edible fruit in 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. The vines grow rapidly and bloom from early to late summer, which draws bees. Fruit is ready about 67 days to maturity.
Pairs well with Celebrity Plus tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Moss Curled parsley.
