Sweet Slice Hybrid Burpless Cucumber
Growing Sweet Slice Hybrid Burpless Cucumber
‘Sweet Slice’ is a productive hybrid cucumber prized for its extra-sweet flavor, tender skin, and crisp, refreshing texture. Long, dark green fruits develop tapered blossom ends and are completely burpless and bitter-free. Exceptionally thin skin means no peeling is needed, while vigorous, disease-resistant vines support reliable harvests throughout the season.
Start ‘Sweet Slice’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly in the garden about ½ inch deep. Space plants about 12 inches apart and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety is also noted for good disease resistance and performs well in warm growing conditions.
Ready to harvest in about 63 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, ‘Sweet Slice’ is excellent for fresh eating, slicing, salads, sandwiches, and snacking.
