Bush Crop Cucumber seeds
If there was ever a specific cucumber variety that thrived in containers more than others, this would be one of them. The Bush Crop cucumber is an open-pollinated heirloom that grows more like a bush than a vine. If you don't have a trellis, or if you mainly do container gardening, these are a great option, but these are not exclusive to containers only, they will do well in raised beds as well.
These are disease-resistant to scabs. Each bush produces optimal slicing cucumbers that range in length from 6 - 8 inches long ( perfect for chicken salad boats!). Each bush will range 10 - 12 inches tall and 2 - 3 feet wide.
