Ashley Cucumber

Description

Ashley Cucumber (60 days) One of the best long green slicers for garden or market. 6-7” dark green fruit. Downy mildew resistance.

May be grown on a wide range of soil, but a sandy loam with pH 5.5 to 6.5 is preferred. Make first planting after last frost in spring and a second planting 3 or 4 weeks later. Plant in rows 5 feet apart and drill seed so that a final stand of one plant every 12-14 inches is ob- tained. Where space is limited cucumbers may be trained on fence, trellis, or poles. Two pounds of seed will plant one acre; 1⁄2 oz. per 100 ft. of row. Do not plant where vine crops (watermelons, squash, cucumbers or cantaloupes) grew the year before.
