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.

Buca I grow these for their smaller size and delicious taste. Produces well and many of my customers like them for their gardens because they are easy to grow in a small space. Also, they produce just the right amount for 1 or 2 people.

Barb from Indialantic, Florida I've been growing these cucumbers for over a year and everyone I give them to says they are the best cucumber they every ate.
I grow in containers/earthboxes and always get a huge yield regardless of variety. This summer I decided to
see if cucumbers would produce in the heat and would bees come to pollinate. Both happened and I'm keeping track of the # of picked cucumbers. I planted 3 seeds - 1 in a Root Pouch, 2 in an Earthbox in May. I picked my first cucumber on June 26 and 4 weeks later am up to 170 picked. The plants are still going strong. I have not sprayed at all but do cover the plants at night with tulle so the pickle worm moths don't invade. I have only lost one cucumber to a caterpillar.
I've run out of people to give them to. My husband made pickles (haven't tried yet).

Bob I just ate my first of 2 grown in the garden here in North Central Florida. This may be the earliest I've ever gotten cucumbers here. And they are as good as I had hoped they would be - crisp, juicy, sweet and not at all bitter. Thanks for providing this one Dan, it is an excellent selection.

Bob 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.

Shopify 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.
