Notes
'Quirk' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Quirk') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. The climbing vines grow fast and bloom white and green from early to late summer. Bees visit the flowers, and fruits are ready in 52 days.
Pairs well with Moskvich tomato, Persian basil, and Alpha calendula.
