Growing Habits & Planting Instructions:
The Armenian cucumber is a wonder in the garden, showcasing its adaptability in various conditions. It especially thrives in warmer climates, producing prolific yields. To cultivate, plant the seeds in well-draining soil, ensuring they receive ample sunlight. While planting on the ground will result in coiled fruits, those looking for straighter produce should opt for a trellis. Regular watering and a watchful eye will ensure a bountiful harvest, with the cucumber signaling its readiness with its characteristic light-green hue and ribbed texture.
