{"product_id":"mini-me-cucumber-cucumis-sativus","title":"MINI  ME - Cucumber - Cucumis sativus","description":"\u003cp\u003eMini Me - Cucumber - Cucumis sativusHighly productive, 2.5 to 4” finger sized tiny, crunchy, sweetish cucumbers that you can use in many ways, and even pickle.  They have a crispness to them that holds up in many different recipes that would make a regular cucumber mushy.  They mature in 45 days of less and are so dependable.  We have had some problems with striped cucumber beetles of which there is no cure but they can be managed with row covers and the planting of Nasturtiums which put off a scent to distract them. Using DE (Diatomaceous Earth) at that base of the plants will deter the larva from entering the stems and laying their eggs. You can also use Surround (which is Kaolin Clay Powder). This cucumber is a vining variety and will therefore need a trellis or fence to climb upon but they put most of their energy into Cuke production rather than lots of leaves and vines, so far. They were developed from the Persian cucumbers in about 1930 when they were cross pollinated with a Mideastern cuke and an east Indian and Japanese variety, which also aided in its resistance to some diseases. 12 SEEDS. -  $4.55\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sevendecorllc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48065922203806,"sku":"ZULBK2Q","price":5.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0775\/1647\/2478\/files\/Output_202.jpg?v=1785400672","url":"https:\/\/sevendecorllc.com\/products\/mini-me-cucumber-cucumis-sativus","provider":"Sevendecorllc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
