Notes
'Picolino' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Picolino') is a vegetable for the food garden, 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 climbing vines grow fast and bear green flowers from early to late summer that attract bees. You can expect fruit about 50 days after planting.
Pairs well with Moskvich tomato, Fernleaf dill, Peione parsley, and Peaches and Cream corn.
