Poona Kheera Cucumber Seeds

Be the first to review this product

50 days. Cucumis sativus. Open Pollinated. Poona Kheera Cucumber. The plant produces heavy yields of 4 to 5" long cucumbers. The best thing about Poona Keera is that it will never, ever get bitter. This cucumber looks like a large russet potato, with a russet-brown color. It is very tender, crisp, juicy, and delicious. It turns from white to golden yellow, then to russet brown. It may be eaten at any stage, skin and all, but the flavor is best when the skin is just turning brown. Used in stir-fries, long marinating dishes, pickles, and chutneys. Very strong vines allow for huge yields. Trellising makes it easier to harvest. It does extremely well in hot climates in the Western part of the country, where growing cucumbers is difficult. This is an excellent hydroponic variety. Also known as Puneri Cucumber. It is a unique heirloom cucumber variety originating from Poona (Pune), India. An excellent choice for home gardens. United States Department of Agriculture, PI 606033. An heirloom variety from India.

Slicing Cucumber Planting Information:

Cucumbers don't do well if roots are disturbed, so it is best to plant seeds directly in the garden. Plant your seeds in soil, 2 to 3 weeks after the last frost, when the soil and air temperature is at least 60°F. Thin so there are 4 plants per hill. Cucumbers can also be grown in rows instead of hills, spacing 24" apart in rows 24 - 36" apart. Trellised plants can be grown as close as 10" apart. Cucumbers only take 55 to 65 days to maturity, so you can have multiple harvests by growing 2 to 3 weeks apart. Plants grow 1 ft tall and vines spread up to 6 ft.

Warning: Do not plant in cold, wet soil, or you may experience poor germination!

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

The soil should be continuously moist. Water well during dry and hot spells. Make sure plants get ½" of water per week.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro Liquid Fertilizer every two weeks.

Harvest Tips:

Snip the stems with garden scissors when cucumbers are 8 - 12" long for slicing varieties (36" long on Asian types). Harvesting frequently encourages more production. Pick daily to prevent fruit from becoming too large. Over-ripe cucumbers will have a bitter taste.
