English Sweet Long Slim Hybrid Cucumber
Growing English Sweet Long Slim Hybrid Cucumber
‘English Sweet Long Slim’ is a premium hybrid cucumber prized for its exceptionally sweet flavor, crisp texture, and long, slender fruits. An improved version of ‘English Long Sweet Crunch,’ this variety matures earlier while delivering the same elegant shape with even sweeter flavor. The smooth fruits are completely burpless, virtually seedless, and bitter-free, making them especially enjoyable for fresh eating.
Start ‘English Sweet Long Slim’ indoors about ¼ inch deep for transplanting. Space plants 12 to 16 inches apart and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety benefits from trellising, which helps the fruits grow straighter and keeps them easier to harvest.
Ready to harvest in about 65 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 refreshing, ‘English Sweet Long Slim’ is excellent for fresh eating, slicing, salads, sandwiches, and snacking.
