The Fuzzy White Italian Cucumber is a small, sweet, round to oval-shaped greenish-white cucumber with fuzzy skin, like a tennis ball. An unusual and beautiful addition to salads, with a subtle flavor that holds its own among mixed greens and other garden vegetables.
The crisp, slightly-sweet fruits are best to eat at golf or tennis-ball size, just after it starts to elongate. Creeping vines yield countless numbers of fruits and the more you pick the more you get.
A rare and unusual, Italian heirloom.

Planting Instructions
Outdoor Sowing Recommended.
Plant 6 to 8 seeds per hill (4ft. to 6ft. apart) directly in the garden after soil is warm and all danger of frost is past. When seedlings are 6" tall, select the 3 strongest and pinch or cut out the others. Do not pull, as this disturbs the root structure.
Cucumbers need moisture. Mulch thickly and water well in dry weather. Plant where vines can climb on a trellis or a fence. Pick often, cucumbers left to turn yellow will slow or stop the vine's production.
