Cucumber-Straight Eight Seed

Cucumber 'Straight Eight' is a classic, high-yielding heirloom variety known for its smooth, straight, 7-8 inch dark green cucumbers with crisp, juicy flesh. Maturing in about 60-70 days, it thrives in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost, ½ inch deep, spacing plants 12 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart, or grow vertically for better air circulation. Keep soil consistently moist for optimal growth. Ideal for slicing, fresh eating, and salads, ‘Straight Eight’ is a reliable choice for home gardens.
