Straight Eight Cucumber (Organic)
Straight, smooth, garden-fresh crunch.
Cucumber - Straight Eight - Cucumis sativus
The Straight Eight Cucumber is a classic heirloom variety prized for its uniform, straight, dark-green fruits that grow up to 8 inches long. Known for their crisp texture and mild, refreshing flavor, these cucumbers are ideal for slicing, adding to salads, or pickling. A reliable performer in the home garden, Straight Eight thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, delivering high yields throughout the season. Its vigorous vines benefit from trellising or room to sprawl and offer resistance to common cucumber diseases, making this a dependable choice for gardeners of all experience levels. The plants are easy to grow from seed and germinate quickly, producing a steady harvest of firm, flavorful cucumbers that are as delicious fresh from the vine as they are in your favorite dishes.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Plant cucumbers in hills or mounds with plenty of added organic matter. Sow 6-7 seeds in a hill, thinning to the 3 best vines.
Planting & Growing: In cool regions, start seeds indoors 10-14 days before the last frost, or sow seeds directly when the soil is at least 70°F. Plant seeds 18" apart if trellised or 36" apart if left to sprawl.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvest while small to medium-sized for best flavor. Keep harvesting fruit, even if misshapen, to keep vines productive.
