Overview
Ashley was released in 1956 from the Clemson experiment station at Charleston, and it was developed to cope with the humidity and downy mildew of Lowcountry and Gulf Coast summers. Vigorous, medium-length vines carry slim, uniform dark green slicers 7 to 8 inches long with mild, sweet flavor. It resists downy mildew, and as an open-pollinated variety, seed can be saved year to year. Direct sow once soil passes 65 F, then sow again toward late summer to replace spring vines that fade in heat. Trellis or let sprawl, and pick regularly. About 65 days.
