Notes
'The General' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'The General') 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. It grows fast and reaches maturity in 52 days. Bees visit its summer blooms.
Pairs well with Damsel tomato, Teddy dill, and Oaxacan Green corn.
