Notes
'Salt and Pepper' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Salt and Pepper') is a vegetable for the food garden and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. This climbing plant grows rapidly, so give it a trellis. White and green flowers open from early to late summer and attract bees.
Pairs well with Green bean, Parsley, and Crokini F1 tomato.
