South Wind Slicing Cucumber (Certified Organic)

Grown by Twin Oaks Seed Farm – 56 days – Cucumis sativus

Our new downy mildew resistant slicing cucumber! Developed by Edmund Frost for Common Wealth Seed Growers, and named after the wind that blows downy mildew spores here from the south every summer. Straight, medium green, 7-8 inch cucumbers with aromatic flavor. South Wind was bred especially for late summer when downy mildew pressure is high, but it also grows well and produces over a long season when planted early.  Edmund focused on bacterial wilt tolerance as well as downy resistance in the selections. These are strong, vigorous and productive plants that rarely produce misshapen fruits, even under stress.  Stem ends are never bitter. We are still refining this variety – please send us your feedback! 47 seeds/gram.
