{"product_id":"botanical-interests-telegraph-improved-cucumber-seeds","title":"Botanical Interests Telegraph Improved Cucumber Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe English cucumber is longer (up to 18\") and thinner than traditional cucumbers, with very small, soft seeds. 'Telegraph Improved' was developed in the 1800s for growing in greenhouses, but is now a favorite of home gardeners for the long, thin-skinned, burpless fruits that add a cool, mild flavor and a snappy crunch to salads and sandwiches. Cucumbers develop best when grown on a trellis and get regular moisture while fruits are forming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily Cucurbitaceae \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative Southern Asia \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife Cycle Annual \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlant Height Vine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFurther Information\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eGrowing Conditions Frost Sensitive\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Cucumber\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDays to Maturity 60 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlant Spacing A group of 2 seeds every 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight Required Full sun \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlant Height Vine \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlanting Depth ½\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage \u0026amp;
