Days to Maturity: 55

Cucumbers with delectable flavor and huge yields are almost unheard-of, but that's what Paraiso brings to the table! This vigorous vining plant delivers armloads of the most delicious cukes you will ever eat and they are bitter free also.

The fruit reaches 8 to 9 inches long, slender and cylindrical, with faint stripes on the necks and a deep green, smooth, thin skin. Perfect for slicing, Paraiso gives you an extra bite in every cuke.

It is easy to grow; simply direct-sow the seeds in spring after the soil has warmed, or begin them indoors 4 weeks before last frost. Work the soil well, amending it with organics so that it is rich and consistently moist. Then set 3 or 4 plants on each hill, mulch them in well, and keep them watered and fed throughout the growing season. You can pick the cukes smaller if desired. It's that simple!
