Growing Information
Straight 8 Cucumber seedlings thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. They love a good watering, especially during dry spells. A good rule of thumb? Aim for about 1-2 inches of rain per week during the growing season. These cucumbers are sociable too, they enjoy the company of radishes, bush snap beans, compact herbs, peppers, eggplants, and tomatoes. And don't forget to invite bees to the party by planting sunflowers, cosmos, zinnias, or coneflower. Your cucumber vines will thank you by bearing plentiful, delicious fruits!
'Nir’s Take'
“Straight 8 cucumbers are a garden staple, and for a good reason. You can get almost three rounds of these cool cucumbers if you start early and are lucky enough to keep them going until late. The more you harvest, the better they grow. They’re perfect for summer salads, and trust me, they taste 100 times better than the ones from the store!”

While we're still working on some cucumber-specific recipes, don't let that stop you! These cucumbers are perfect for fresh, crunchy salads. Think Greek salad with feta and olives, refreshing cucumber and dill summer soup, or simple cucumber sandwiches. Or why not try your hand at homemade pickles? The possibilities are as endless as your garden is green!
