Notes
'Quick Snack' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Quick Snack') is a vegetable for 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. It is a rapid climbing vine that spreads 36 to 96 inches, so give it room or a trellis. Bees visit its flowers in early to late summer, and fruits are ready in 40 days.
Pairs well with Pesto Perpetuo basil, Roulette habanero pepper, and Giant of Italy parsley.
