1 plant per 3.5” pot. Our current inventory consists of greenhouse varieties that are parthenocarpic (don’t need pollination to set fruit). They are currently appropriate to plant in greenhouses that are staying above freezing.
Cucumbers are cold sensitive. We do not recommend planting them in outdoor gardens (even with mini hoophouses) until June. We plan to have more availability at the end of May. When growing cukes outdoors in Central Oregon, we recommend always growing them under the shelter of a mini hoophouse in tomato cages to maximize vertical space. Lift plastic up during the day for ventilation and close in the evening to retain heat. Alternatively, try growing them in walls of water and drape row cover over plants when needed.
Also, avoid massaging roots at planting!
Excelsior: Estimated days to maturity in Central Oregon: 64 days. Excelsior is a pickling cucumber that is also super flavorful eating raw. Dark green, blocky, nicely proportioned 4–5" fruits have American-style spines.
Katrina: Estimated days to maturity in Central Oregon: 63 days. Tasty snacking cucumber with good heat tolerance. Known for its ability to set fruit under heat stress. This seedless, thin-skinned cuke is best when harvested at 5 1/2–6 1/2" long.
Mojito: Estimated days to maturity in Central Oregon: 64 days. Attractive snacking cucumbers with sweet, citrusy flavor; crisp texture; and bright green coloration. Fruits are remarkably uniform and leave no bitter aftertaste. Best harvested at 5–6".
Tasty Jade: Estimated days to maturity in Central Oregon: 68 days. Delicious long Asian cucumber. Glossy 11–12" long, bitter-free fruit with small seed cavities. Cukes are sweet, crisp, and thin-skinned; no peeling required. Trellis for straight fruit.
