I've so far grown two varieties of cuke plants in an Aerogarden Bounty. One, I probably won't delete because it required you to gather pixie dust from a male blossom and paint it on a female blossom, and that seemed like a bit of trouble.
I've also tried the highly recommended Jades, which were much easier.
I just got seeds for Little Leaf cukes from Reimer.
57 days. Cucumis sativus. Open Pollinated. Compact plant produces high yields of 3 to 5" long emerald green color cucumbers. It may be the highest yielding pickling cucumber on the market today, producing 25 to 30 cucumbers per plant! An excellent cucumber for salads and pickling. Parthenocarpic variety and no male pollen is needed, so even if bees are scarce you'll still get a bumper crop. Perfect for container gardening. Does well under stress and adverse weather conditions. Tolerates heat, drought and cool temperatures. One of the most disease resistant cucumber on the market. Excellent choice for home gardens, hydroponics, greenhouses, market growers, and open field production. Developed in 1991 by the University of Arkansas, USA. Disease Resistant: A, ALS, BW, Ccu, CMV, DM, PM.
LOT NO: CU1002-01 GERMINATION: 85% TEST DATE: 09/17
Seeds Per Pound: 16,000
Plant Height: Vine Type Plant
Planting Season: Spring/Late Summer
Sunlight Requirement: Full Sun/Partial Shade
Planting Method: Indoor Sow/Direct Sow
