Overview
Tendergreen Burpless is an heirloom slicer prized for thin, dark green skin and flesh that is sweet, non-bitter and easy on the stomach. Fruit runs 8 to 10 inches, though it is at its best picked at 8 inches or less, and it doubles as a pickler if you harvest small. The plants shrug off downy and powdery mildew, and they tolerate cooler soil better than most cucumbers, so direct sowing right after the last frost usually works. The vines are vigorous; keep the water supply even and pick often so they keep setting. A good all-round cucumber for gardeners who want one variety to cover both fresh eating and the pickle crock.
