Notes
'Olympian' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Olympian') is a climbing vegetable for food gardens and containers. 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 brings in bees. This hybrid is ready to pick in about 65 days.
Pairs well with Citrine tomato, Persian basil, and Moss Curled parsley.
