Experimental Farm Network Salt and Pepper Cucumber

This variety is a cross-bred hybrid designed to bridge the gap between heirloom flavor and modern reliability. It specifically offers robust resistance to common garden issues like powdery mildew and angular leaf spot, which often plague standard cucumber crops.

They are highly versatile. The texture is crisp enough for fresh eating in salads, but they also hold up well when preserved, making them an excellent choice for pickling.

These are bred for long-season production. If you provide consistent water and harvest regularly, you can expect a steady supply of fruit over an extended period rather than a single, short harvest window.

Not at all. With a germination rate of 96%, these seeds are highly reliable. Just ensure you plant them in warm soil once the danger of frost has passed to give them the best start.

Like most cucumbers, these are annuals that will thrive in a garden bed or a large container. Because they are productive over a long season, just ensure they have a trellis or enough space to sprawl if you aren't growing them vertically.
