Organic 'Aunt Alice' Cucumber
identification
description
The organic 'Tante Alice' cucumber is an heirloom variety with a fine reputation, prized for its vigor, productivity, and the remarkable quality of its long, refreshing fruits. In the vegetable garden, Cucumis sativus quickly develops abundant foliage and flexible stems that can trail along the ground or climb up a support, providing a plentiful and lively presence throughout the summer season. Its elongated, green, and smooth fruits evoke, by their delicacy, certain English cucumbers, with a crisp, juicy, and pleasantly sweet flesh. Although their skin is tougher and sometimes slightly bitter, it protects a tender flesh that proves particularly flavorful once peeled. Disease-resistant and capable of sustained production, this variety is as reassuring as it is delightful, making it ideal for amateur gardeners. It thrives in warmth, full sun, and well-drained soil, where it consistently expresses its full potential. Even with slightly later sowing, it remains generous and continues to yield beautiful fruits until the end of the season. It is a reliable and delicious heritage cucumber, perfect for enriching the garden with freshness, yield, and summer flavor.
