Cucumis sativus
CUCUMBER-BUSH CROP requires about 2/3 less garden space than a vining type without sacrificing quality. The plant produces generous numbers of medium-sized, 15-20cm long fruits on dwarf bushy plants. Small straight, slicing cucumbers with a dark bluish-green rind. This variety performs well in containers and in small garden plots. An excellent variety for small gardens. Resistant to scab.
Sow seeds direct into well-prepared beds or pots with added compost. Soil must be 20 degrees or above for best germination results. Press 4 seeds into a hole and then later to 2 seedlings.

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.
