Dark Armenian Cucumber in the Greenhouse

Desperate for a supplier of Dark Armenian cucumbers, I tried one well-known seed seller. Unfortunately, the germination was not up to specifications. That being said, I still wanted to know if the variety was actually what it was advertised as – just in case I needed an additional source of Dark Armenian cucumber seed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So I grew it out in the greenhouse in the spring. The variety did alright. It wasn’t exactly as vigorous as I would have hoped, but given that it sprouted from old seed, I was happy when the fruit eventually set. One fruit was enough to let me know that it was true-to-type, howbeit not want I would want to use for my future population of Dark Armenian cucumbers.
