48 to 50 days. In just 7 weeks from sowing, you'll start harvesting beautiful cucumber, 8 1/2 inches long by 1 1/2 inches wide, with a sweet, crispy flavor! Completely burpless and without a trace of bitterness, they are also seedless if grown apart from other cucumber plants! The heavy-bearing vine needs no bees for pollination, so you don't have to wait till the garden gets going to start harvesting these scrumptious fruits!
Cucurbitaceae Cucumis sativus
These leathery, golden brown creatures are the larvae of the Click Beetle. They are most common on grassland, but can also be a problem in gardens (especially those newly created from grassland). They will eat the underground parts of most common vegetable crops, but are most often a problem with younger plants (they often kill seedlings).
