Know before you buy
No, you do not need to peel them. These cucumbers have a very thin, delicate skin that is perfectly edible and adds a nice texture to salads.
The Silver Slicer is specifically bred to thrive in heat and humidity. They also feature built-in resistance to powdery mildew, which is a common issue for cucumbers in damp or humid conditions.
Yes, because these are open-pollinated seeds, you can save the seeds from your harvest to plant in future seasons. They will grow true to type, meaning the offspring will have the same characteristics as the parent plant.
For the best flavor and texture, harvest the cucumbers when they reach 6 to 8 inches in length. At this size, they offer the signature juicy, sweet, and mild crunch the variety is known for.
While they perform well in garden beds, you can grow them in containers if you provide a large enough pot and a sturdy trellis. Because they are a vining plant, providing vertical support will keep the fruit clean and save space.
