Armenian Dark Cucumber is a unique and delicious burpless cucumber alternative prized for its long, slender, deeply ribbed fruits and crisp texture. Although commonly called a cucumber, it is actually a type of muskmelon (Cucumis melo) and has a mild, refreshing flavor with very little bitterness. The dark green fruits can grow quite long but are especially tender and flavorful when harvested around 12–18 inches. Vigorous vines thrive in warm weather and produce generously throughout the summer. Armenian Dark is excellent for fresh eating, salads, slicing, and pickling, and its unusual appearance makes it a standout in the garden.

Direct sow the seeds in a sunny spot in the garden or in containers after all danger of frost is past. Cover seed lightly with soil, 3 – 4 seeds together in groups. Space groupings 4 ft apart. For earlier cucumbers start indoors 2 to 3 weeks in advance of intended date for moving the plants to the garden. Sow 2 seeds per pot and do not thin. Germinates best at 72 F in 7 to 10 days.

Cucumbers can be allowed to grow on the ground or over the sides of containers, but for longer, straighter fruit with better support, grow the plant in a cage or on a trellis, allowing 1 foot between plants in the garden, or one plant per container. Keep plants well-watered, and pick the fruits promptly; they can become tough if left too long on the plant.
