Mini-Me F1 Organic Cucumber, a mini Beit Alpha (Cucumis sativa) variety, among the more popular cucumber types, is grown as a fruit vegetable. Mini-Me is an early variety that sets small, uniform, nearly spineless fruits, approximately 2 to 3 inches long, with thin, smooth skin and mild, slightly sweet flavor. Use these snack-sized mini cucumbers in fresh foods and beverages or pickle them.
Mini-Me F1 Organic Cucumber, an herbaceous annual, is a member of the cucurbit family (Curcurbitaceae). Cucumbers are tropical plants that love warm temperatures and high humidity. Dependable and high yielding, Mini-Me grows vigorously, quickly forming a low-growing, far-spreading vine.
Training the tendril-bearing vines to grow vertically on support ensures better air circulation, produces straighter fruit, helps prevent disease, and makes harvest easier.
Easy to grow from seed, Mini-Me F1 Organic Cucumber prefers full sun and loose, rich, slightly acid, well-drained soil. Cucumbers require frequent watering for proper growth, but leaves should be kept dry. If plants are watered too infrequently or grown in too much shade, fruits will be bitter tasting.
Regular composting is also recommended. Harvest cucumbers when young, before they over ripen and turn yellow. Harvest often to promote heavier fruit product. Mini-Me is also suitable for indoor gardens and hydroponic growing.
It's going to be another beautiful spring in your garden! We are delighted to celebrate 150 years of gardening friendship with you! "Your success and pleasure are more to Park than your money." The motto of our founder, George W. Park, has been the inspiration for Park Seed Company ever since its 1868 founding at the kitchen table of a 15-year-old boy who hoped to sell seeds from his own garden for a little pocket money. Mr. Park considered gardening a spiritual delight as well as a useful and pleasant activity. In early catalogs, he encouraged gardeners to form clubs and swap seeds, even printing nature poetry they had written. His catalogs united gardeners in remote rural areas, and by 1918, Park Seed Company had 180,000 customers. Today our gardeners number in the millions, yet we still adhere to Mr. Park's original motto. We may be connecting online through social media rather than handwritten letters, but the spirit and the result is the same: bringing the joys of gardening to as many people as possible.
