Brown Russian Cucumber Seeds

Brown Russian Cucumber Seeds (67 days)

Seed Package contains 1 gram 25-35 seeds

This has to be hands down the best tasting cucumber I have ever tasted.

Very crisp and mellow. No bitterness.

YES, it is very strange looking, but don't let that fool you.

Brown Russian is 3' around and is best harvested at 5-7" long.

It is a new favorite around here for salads or just eating right off the vine!

James Gregory's 1879 seed company catalog says about Brown Russian Cucumber seeds...

"The Russian netted cucumber is a native of the Ukraine country and very prolific; surpasses all other in hardiness; middle size, flesh white and the skin covered with a pretty brown network which imparts to the fruit a peculiar appearance."

Planting Tips:

Soak seeds overnight before planting either individually in rows or hills of 3-6 seeds each. Tighter spacing and higher yields can be achieved through trellising the plants on fences or poles. Continually harvesting will keep the plant producing new fruits.

Heirloom cucumbers do not like acidic soil!
Frost tender. Heirloom cucumbers love warm weather.
To get an earlier heirloom cucumber crop start indoors 3-4 weeks before last frost.
Heirloom cucumbers are thirsty! Never let them go dry. Heirloom cucumbers are over 95 % water.
Fertilize heirloom cucumbers with manures BEFORE planting.
Cucumber beetles are "supposed" to dislike marigolds or wood ashes sprinkled at the base of cucumber vines.

Seeding Rate:

35,000-40,000 plants/acre, 3-4 lb./acre

Heirloom seeds are hardy but always take care with your garden seeds to give them the appropriate amount of moisture - not letting the vegetable seeds dry out prematurely or overwatering and possibly having them rot.
