Eureka Cucumber seed for salad or sandwichThe Eureka hybrid cucumber is a dual purpose slicer/pickler that features disease resistance. Quite simply, because of its versatility it just might be the only cucumber a home gardener needs to plants. Cucumbers are great for diets and healthy in other respects, too. They consist of about 90% water, but still are nourishing, containing both vitamins A and C as well as sulfur, manganese, phosphorus, silicon, sodium, calcium and potassium. One 5.3 ounce serving has only about 25 calories, so you can eat a lot of Eureka cucumbers and not gain a pound. The strong, vigorous plants set a load of uniform, firm, shite-spined, very dark green fruits. The dark green peel makes it very appealiing when sliced for salads, or for the darkest green batch of pickles you've ever made! This variety grows well on a fence or trellis for easy harvest, but growing it on the ground works well too. This is also a monoecious variety and it requires no other pollinator since the vines produce both male and female flowers. Maturity is 57 days from direct seeding. This is a dark green salad cucumber from small sizes on up, and it's a marvelous pickling cucumber from 2-5 inches long. For best quality as a slicing variety, use the fruits from tiny sizes up to about 7 inches long. Eureka can grow through troubles in the garden and yield a huge crop over a long picking season. It is resistant to angular leaf spot, downy mildew, papaya ring spot, scab, watermelon mosaic virus, zucchini yellows virus, Anthracnose races 1 and 2, cucumber mosaic virus and powdery mildew. now that's a lot of disease resistance and Eureka is unique in this respect.
