Cucumis sativus
CUCUMBER-SUYO LONG, Chinese variety with tender skin, firm flesh & small seeds. Considered to be burpless. Don’t let its odd appearance fool you, this is one sweet cucumber. Great raw, but also stands up well to a quick pickling. Growing to 40 cm long on vigorous vines, the sweet ribbed fruits can be picked at any stage, from very young to fully mature. Non-bitter, excellent for salads. Widely adaptable, but loves warm weather. Grow it on a trellis for straighter fruits. Resists Powdery Mildew.
Sow in fertile well drained soil. Cover with soil & firm down lightly & keep moist. Seeds can be started indoors. Trellis recommended.

More About Us
ABSeeds is an Australian owned business trading under the umbrella of Direct Compost Solutions which is owned and managed by Victoria Brun.
We as a company endeavor to provide to the public, Organic, Old Fashioned, Heritage, and Open-pollinated seeds that have not been genetically modified.
We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.
Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
