Description

Picolino Organic cucumber seeds are CERTIFIED ORGANIC! Picolino is a fine example of a parthenocarpic type cucumber. It produces only female flowers, so the vines are really productive. And the fruits are seedless unless they are cross pollinated with another variety. They don’t need pollination, so they’re well suited to greenhouse growing. The tasty, uniform little fruits are 10-12cm (4-5″) long with thin skins and appealing texture. This variety has hybrid resistance to Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV), Cucumber Vein Yellows Virus (CVYV), powdery mildew, scab, and target leaf spot. Picolino is sold by seed count, not by weight.

Timing
Cucumbers need very warm soil to germinate. If direct sowing on the coast, wait until early to mid-June. If weather turns cool and wet after that, just re-sow. Or start transplants indoors in individual peat or coir pots 3-4 weeks before transplanting out into warm soil. If starting indoors, use bottom heat. Transplant when the plants develop their third true leaf. If the plants are too big, they may experience transplant shock. Optimal soil temperature for germination (and transplanting): 15-30°C (60-85°F).
