Straight Eight Cucumber:
The Cucumber Slicing Straight Eight, 'Cucumis sativus', is a very vigorous and productive open pollinated cucumber that is excellent for salads, slicing, or for making dill pickles. There is nothing more refreshing than a cucumber. This older, open pollinated variety is still around because it is simply a great variety. Cucumbers have a shallow root system and therefore require regular moisture. Do not let cucumbers get too big because the vines stop producing if over mature cucumbers stay on the vine.
