Overview
Rocky is an early hybrid grown for seedless baby cucumbers. Harvest at about 3 1/2 inches to get the small, snack-sized fruit it is meant for. It performs in open fields and in greenhouses alike, and powdery mildew resistance helps the vines stay productive. Pick daily once fruiting begins, since baby cukes outgrow their ideal size fast.
