Mini-Me Hybrid Cucumber F1
Treatment: Untreated
Description
The Mini-Me Cucumber is a dependable and high yielding variety that grows vigorously and forms a low-growing, far-spreading vine. By training the vines to grow vertically on support, you can improve air circulation, produce straighter fruit, prevent disease, and make harvest easier.
Cucumbers perform best when direct-seeded. They do not perform as well when transplanted. Cucumbers may be direct-seeded by hand or with a walk-behind seeder. To obtain a good stand of plants, we suggest planting Seeds every 6-8" inches and thinning to one seed per foot.
Cucumbers are a vining plant and grow best when given a trellised structure to climb. Use a strong trellis that is well-supported with deeply driven stakes. Keeping plants off the ground will reduce the potential of plant diseases like mildews and other diseases that can result from excess plant moisture.
Trellising will also keep the fruits cleaner and save time with harvesting and processing. It will also help to prevent fruit discoloration or yellowing from sitting on the soil surface. Our Hortonova Trellis Netting works great for trellising cucumbers and is easy to install.

We love cucumbers and I planted about 14 containers before hurricanes Hellene & Milton came barreling through and destroyed all of my containers except 3 and these were damaged but they pulled through and I’m so excited to know it looks like we’ll be getting a few cucumbers after all I won’t be able to make as many dill pickles as I’d like to but I’m grateful for whatever I get.
Will be planting in the spring. Ate a few from a friend that planted some last year and I knew I wanted to get some.
Grew them on a trellis and happy with the results!
My wife loves these little things! They were already producing before we could get them hardened off to go outside.
Love them! Their taste, two and three cukes per node, perfect size for eating fresh and for pickling! Ordering more for my seed storage.
