Bush Crop Heirloom Cucumber
Growing Bush Crop Heirloom Cucumber
‘Bush Crop’ is a compact heirloom cucumber prized for its sweet flavor, crisp texture, and space-saving growth habit. Dwarf, bushy plants produce no long runners, making this variety especially well suited to containers and smaller gardens. The cucumbers are larger than many traditional picklers, with tender flesh and excellent flavor for both fresh eating and preserving.
Start ‘Bush Crop’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly in the garden about ½ inch deep. Space plants about 12 inches apart and grow in full sun. Its compact habit makes it a practical choice for patios, raised beds, containers, and gardens where space is limited.
Ready to harvest in about 58 days, begin picking the fruits once they reach a usable size while they are still firm, crisp, and tender. Harvest regularly to encourage continued production and maintain the best texture and flavor.
Sweet, crisp, and versatile, ‘Bush Crop’ is excellent for fresh eating, slicing, and pickling.
