The NGB reports that ‘Baby Hybrid’ is a prolific variety that starts producing early and then keeps on going.
#SILVER SLICER CUCUMBER SKIN#
It’s a gourmet Persian-type cucumber with a thin skin that won’t need peeling. ‘Baby Hybrid’ is a snack-size cucumber that seems ideal for my container garden. The fruits are a uniform 7-8″ long, consistently straight and abundant.
This creamy white slicer will look beautiful growing in the garden and then topping my favorite summer salads. ‘Silver Slicer’ is my top pick out of this group of new cucumbers. If you’re as crazy about cukes as I am, you might want to add these new cucumber varieties to your shopping list for next season: The nonprofit organization works with the horticulture industry to promote edibles, but annuals and perennials, too. With garden as its middle name, the NGB’s goal is to help gardeners have more beautiful and successful gardens. The vegetable may be mostly water, but that’s how it earned its reputation for keeping its cool. The National Garden Bureau’s (NGB) announcement that 2014 is The Year of the Cucumber has me dreaming of warmer days and long vines loaded with one of my favorite garden vegetables.Ĭucumbers have a long history and evidence shows they’ve been grown for almost 3000 years. It’s going to be a while before I can plant any cucumber seeds in the garden, but I’m already thinking ahead. Still, I can’t get the phrase, “Cool as a cucumber” out of my head.
There’s a thick layer of snow covering the vegetable bed and the thermometer reads a frosty 8 degrees.
