Description

Robust outdoor cucumber variety from the Balkans. Probably closely related to netted cucumbers. Young fruits green with delicate edible skin and older fruits brownish. Peel older fruits. Pure-tasting cucumber and robust in cultivation. Always needs plenty of water and nutrients. Nettle slurry should also be ideal here. It is essential to grow on the ground and not let it climb up. The fruits are so abundant and then become too heavy.
