Description
(Cucumis sativus) sweeter, smoother little sister of Silver Slicer. Powdery Mildew & Angular Leaf Spot resistance, the genius of Cornell’s public plant breeding & Molly Jahn and Jason Cavatorta. Regional adaptation and organics have been part of this cucumber’s vision from inception and the taste is sincerely spectacular. Best suited for eating fresh and pickling.
When mature, the skin turns a pale yellow; growing darker the longer the cucumber is left on the vine. The inner flesh is pale green with many translucent seeds. These cucumbers were carefully chosen due to the combination of disease resistance and a quality flavour. The appearance of the immature cucumber with its white skin and black spines was the inspiration for the name “Salt and Pepper.”
50 days to maturity
approx 40 seeds

Your Salt & Pepper cukes lived up to your description! Chunky little white cukes with tiny black spines are juicy, crisp & delish as well as very prolific & disease resistant!!! We grew 2 plants at our community garden (neighbourhood rabbit got the rest of the seedlings!) that produced 70+ cukes & flourished all season long!! Amazing germination, too! Thanks, Kat!! ❤️ ❤️
