Notes
'Surecrop' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Surecrop') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It climbs fast, so give the vines a trellis. Bees visit the flowers from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Nasturtium, Scarlet runner, Dill, and African marigold.
