Cucumber
Varieties:
This cucumber is really different. Cool Breeze Imp. is a parthenocarpic variety bred to set perfect fruit without cross-pollination. No male pollen is needed, so even if bees are scarce you'll still get a bumper crop. Cool Breeze Imp. is a French Cornichon type with thin skin and tiny edible spines. They are picked about 2 inches long and pickled in France. Pick them at about 4 inches for larger pickles or fresh eating. Expect the harvest to start about 45 days from planting. Cool Breeze Imp. is widely adapted but particularly popular with Northern Gardeners.
