Cucumber Beit (Beth) Alpha (38-16)
Product Code:
38-16
$5.00 - $30.00
Cucumber Beit Alpha. These mideast type cucumbers have a very thin skin, absolutely no bitterness, are mild, productive over a long season, one of the earliest to produce, and should go until a frost. In short, they are one of the best all-around cucumbers available. Pick them when they are about five or six inches long for best flavor and texture. They do well on a trellis but you can grow them on the ground also. Set out transplants or direct seed three feet apart (3-5 seeds per hill, thin to three best plants) with rows five to six feet apart. 3 gram packet, approximately 90 seeds. Approximately 30-45 seeds per gram.

ALL STAR PRO
Last year I wasn't able to plant the seedlings I started. I left them in the 3" pots they were started in, hoping to plant later, but never did. They were in an empty self-watering pot, and their roots grew down into the water collected in it's bottom. During the summer, the tiny (less than a foot long) plants produced 3 cucumbers about 5" long each, with a good flavor. That's a winner. I can't wait to see what it will do in the garden.

Not bitter at all ever
I grew them on a wire fence and they produced well despite the many bugs and high humidity in Ga. My kids loved them. They are best picked small as the seeds tend to get big unless you are pureeing the cucumber for a soup or don't mind removing the seeds.

Awesome Cucumbers
I've grown these for many years and absolutely love them. I grow my cukes on a trellis because they get longer, are easier to pick and save on space. My only complaint is no matter what cuke I've grown over the years, I can't get rid of that darned cucumber beetle. As soon as the plants pop out, I sprinkle with 7 dust and attempt to continue throughout season and do a good job until we go on vacation. ANY SUGGESTIONS controlling the cuke beetle would be great.
