Notes
'Telegraph Cucumber' English (Cucumis sativus 'Telegraph Cucumber') is a climbing vegetable for containers and food gardens. 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 soil. It grows at a rapid rate, so give the vines a trellis to climb. Bees visit the flowers from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Winter squash, Basil, and Parsley.
