Prepare the soil in early spring incorporating rich compost or a general garden fertilizer as soil requires. Sow transplants indoors 4 weeks before setting out in the garden.

Parthenocarpy involves fruit formation, without seed formation. In other words,  it is the formation of fruit without being fertilized which results in a seedless fruit

Gynoecious means that this cucumber was bred to produce more female flowers thus increasing the production of cucumbers.
