Notes
'Sashimi' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Sashimi') is a climbing vegetable for the food garden, containers, and borders. 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. Fruits are ready about 50 days after planting. Bees visit its flowers from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Orange Hat Tomato tomato, Pesto Perpetuo basil, and Giant of Italy parsley.
