The Calypso cucumber plant produces very early, high yielding and uniform cucumbers. This variety is a dependable, heavy yielding cucumber. The Calypso produces firm, 1” diameter cucumbers that are excellent for pickling or eating fresh. This variety offers strong disease-resistance! Very productive, widely adaptable.
Planting: Direct seed ½” - 1” soils with 60ºF+ temperatures. Row spacing should range from 30” - 36” apart. Space plants 12” apart in the row.
Watering: Water 1 inch per week. Water consistently, because inconsistent watering can create misshapen cucumbers.
Fertilizer: When planting, mix compost with a little bit of organic fertilizer. During growth, use liquid fertilizer and apply directly to the soil near the stem. Granular fertilizer also can be used, but work it into the soil around the
plant. Feed with fertilizer regularly.
Days to Maturity: Once fruit bears, pick cucumbers often. They can double in size quickly. (See each variety for days to maturity)
