How to grow Straight Eight Slicing cucumber

Botanical identity: Cucumis sativus L. Life cycle: Annual.

Sow 1/2 in and use a seed-zone temperature near 75–90 °F. Expected emergence: 7-10 Days. No stratification; direct sow into warm soil or start briefly in biodegradable cells and transplant young

Plant during Late Spring. Space plants 12 in apart with 36 in between rows or planting bands.

Provide Full sun, moderate water, and loamy near pH 6.0–6.5. Support: Trellis.

Garden performance and care

Harvest Straight Eight frequently at the intended eating stage so oversized fruit does not slow production. Keep vines off wet soil where possible, water at the root zone, and watch early for cucumber beetles and wilt symptoms. Expected emergence is 7-10 Days; the listed maturity or bloom timing is 60-69 Days.

Harvest, bloom, and uses

Straight Eight is best for fresh eating or pickling, trellised gardens, succession sowing, and summer harvest. Harvest form or size: 8–9 in long; about 2–2.25 in wide. Color at the principal harvest or mature stage: Green. Enjoy the perfect balance of productivity and flavor with Cucumber Seeds - Vining - Straight Eight, an All-America Selections (AAS) winner renowned for its reliability, uniformity, and exceptional taste.

Saving seed

Seed saving for Straight Eight Select several healthy, true-to-type plants so the saved lot represents the variety rather than one unusually early or large individual. Cucumis sativus L. varieties can cross with other cucumbers of the same species through insect-carried pollen. Isolate by distance, flowering control, bagging, or hand pollination and maintain enough plants to represent the variety. Mark seed fruit early, then allow it to grow far past eating stage until large and pale, yellow, or golden. Hold mature fruit briefly if sound, scoop seed and pulp, ferment about 24–48 hours, wash away pulp and light seed, and dry the heavy seed thoroughly in a thin layer. Label the lot with isolation and selection records and test germination before distribution.

Common problems

Watch Straight Eight for cucumber beetles, squash bugs where applicable, aphids, powdery or downy mildew, bacterial wilt, crown rot, poor pollination, and fruit damage on wet soil. Rotate cucurbit crops, provide airflow, water at the root zone, protect young plants before flowering, and remove covers when blossoms need pollinators. Do not work wet vines.
