Good Day,
Does anyone know how to get seeds or plants for the Hot House Cucumbers sold
at the stores. grocery stores, super Wal-Mart,ect.
The wrapper says product of Canada.
They are rather long and usually always sold individually
wrapped in plastic.
I am guessing they are a Hydroponic product but I would like to try them in
a greenhouse setting.
Thanks in advance for your ideas and advice,
K&TB


Those are called European or English cukes. (I forget which, but it's
one or the other.) They're parthogenic (or something like that -- they
don't need to be pollinated by insects/wind).

You can buy the seeds through any good seed house. The seed is expensive
and it's worth it.

Sorry I'm being so vague. My hay fever kicked into high gear today and
I'm not a happy girl. We only have another 190 acres of hay to put up
and my meds aren't working. (Yep, I'm whining.)
