Sow the seeds an inch deep with 36 inches between plants. If you are using a trellis, a foot between plants is adequate. Cucumbers will need regular watering while growing. When ready to harvest, cut the Burpless #26 Hybrid cucumbers at the stem. This plant has a vine growth habit, therefore it will thrive on trellises but stakes can also be employed. A chain link fence can be used as a trellis system. Plant 3 weeks after the last frost and watch your cucumber plant grow, eventually producing a high yield of straight fruits with a mild flavor.

According to some, this cucumber has the best flavor when picked when exactly 8 inches long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet Slice Cucumber, Fanfare Hybrid Cucumber, and Sweeter Yet Hybrid Cucumber, have been discontinued.
