Tasty Green is an early maturing, heavy-yielding, hybrid burpless Japanese cucumber. The fruit is best harvested at 9" length, when skin is dark green with shallow ridges and small white spines. The incredibly tender skin on this favorite burpless cuke is an inky-green with faint ridges, and the flesh is crisp, juicy, and delicious. Vigorous vines are resistant to powdery mildew and tolerant of downy mildew. A favorite for taste.

Tasty Green Cucumber: 10 Seeds
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.
