Known for its crisp texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor, this versatile cucumber is ideal for slicing, fresh eating, pickling, and adding to salads. Highly productive and vigorous, Straight Eight thrives in warm weather and produces consistently throughout the summer.

Growing Instructions

Direct-sow Straight Eight Cucumber seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil temperature reaches at least 70°F. Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 12 inches apart in rich, well-draining soil. Thin seedlings to one plant every 18–24 inches for optimal spacing. Provide trellising to support long vines and improve airflow, reducing disease risk. Water consistently to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Harvest cucumbers when they reach 6–8 inches in length for the best flavor and texture. Continuous harvesting encourages higher yields.
