Japanese Climbing Cucumbers

**THIS ITEM IS SOLD OUT FOR THE SEASON** Seed Count: Approx. 15 seeds Days to Maturity: 55-65 Days Description:  The Japanese climbing cucumber is an early producing variety of 9 inch long, crisp, slightly tart, and tender cucumbers.  This variety is great for pickling, when picked between 3-5 inches, but also makes for an excellent slicer that tastes delicious in salads.  It is an extremely prolific variety, and will keep producing all summer long, as long as you keep the cucumbers picked.  They have strong tendrils, making this variety great for training up a trellis or fence.  However, they can still be grown on the ground, making it an excellent choice for home and market growers because of its versatility.  This heirloom variety was first listed by J.M. Thornton & Company in 1894.   How To Grow Sowing:  Cucumbers don’t take well to transplanting, so either start them early in peat pots or sow them directly. When 2 or 3 leaves appear on each plant, cut off all but the strongest
