Cucumber, Tanja seeds

Description

60 days. An European heirloom with great adaptability to grow in the greenhouse and outdoors. Dark green skinned 30 cm fruits with bright white flesh and extremely small seed cavity. Great slicing. We were impressed how well it did as a pickle. Absolutely bitter-free. Prolific. We have it outside growing on a wire framed trellis in 45cm deep raised beds. Had it in Asian style salad rolls, sushi, potato & cuke salad and made some awesome garlic dill pickles. I yearn for summer again to feast on these.
