How to Sow and Plant
Straight from the seed in the organic soil and they grew like weeds. I started the seeds in a seed tray and they have Good germination indoors. Its still pretty chilly here and i'm not ready to put them in the ground. I would like to grow them in containers.
Transplanted to larger fiber pots by March end. By April mid, ie by 3rd week i replanted 1plant/8 gallon container. When transplanting them, be very delicate as they don't like their roots messed with too much.

They appear to be vines with the usual tendrils, and are climbing the fence and spilling out of the bed. They are almost 3 foot tall now. Better to use tomato cage for support.
Harvesting
They have very little seeds/juice, which makes them perfect for a mid afternoon snack. The cucumbers are delicious and approxim 10" long.
