Everwilde Farms - 1 lb Pioneer F1 Hybrid Cucumber Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

Pioneer cucumbers are great for fresh eating or pickling. This lovely, uniform variety produces blocky green fruit with black spines averaging 3" long by 1" in diameter which takes about 53 days. The vines are indeterminate, vigorous, and very productive! This cucumber is widely adapted with some disease resistance. Historians generally agree that the first cucumbers grew in India's Himalyan Mountains over 3,000 years ago. From this region they expanded into Greece and Rome; the Romans most likely spread this vegetable to the rest of Europe. The cucumber was widely grown by native Americans through the influence of the Spanish and other explorers. Cucumbers continue to be a vital part of traditional cuisine in Russia and many parts of Asia; the greatest variety of colors and shapes of this vegetable can still be found in its Asian birthplace.
