Cucumber Seeds - Sooyow Nishiki

The fruit has sweet and very crisp flesh. It has a monoecious flowering habit (plant produces both male and female flowers). It produces more female flowers on the secondary and tertiary vines, so that's where most of the fruit will be harvested. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in late spring/early summer after last frost in a warm, sunny location. Or start seeds indoors and transplant when weather warms. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Optimum growing temperatures are 75°F daytime and 60°F at night. Train to climb a vertical support for better air circulation, straighter fruits, and ease of harvest. Enjoy in kyuri sunomono or tsukemono (pickled).
