Spacemaster is the ultimate cucumber for the vegetable gardener with limited space! The vines of this variety need only about 1/3 the space of a typical cucumber plant, only growing 18-36” long. The small, bushy plant is ideal for containers or small gardens. The 7-8“ fruit is crisp and tasty, with a satisfying bite just right in a slicer. Excellent for pickling when small, they are also perfect for slicing when picked more mature.
