Okumusashi Jihai Cucumber Seeds - 5 seeds
Fixed Variety (Domestic Seed Production, Undisinfected Seeds)
The Okumusashi Jihai Cucumber is a traditional fixed variety passed down in the mountainous regions of Saitama Prefecture, characterized by its old-fashioned texture and aroma ? You can safely grow it in your home garden and save seeds for future planting.
● Features
? Hardy and easy to grow: Resistant to heat, powdery mildew, and downy mildew, making it popular for natural farming and home gardens ?
? Rich flavor and tender: Delicious even with the skin on, offering a crisp texture and a nostalgic aroma.
? High yield: Produces many fruits on lateral branches as well as the main vine. Fruits are approximately 23cm long, with a vibrant dark green color and white warts.
* Approximately 2% of fruits may be short-shaped and differ from the norm (quoted from Noguchi Seed Company).
● Cultivation Guide
Sowing: Direct sow from late April to July (optimal germination temperature 25-30℃). Training: Pinch the tip of the main vine when it has 7-8 true leaves, and train the lateral vines that emerge from the leaf axils to spread in all directions. Vertical cultivation is also possible: Space plants adequately and train lateral vines onto a cucumber net or similar support for vertical growth.
Since these are fixed variety seeds, you can save seeds for next year! Why not try growing them from your own saved seeds in the following years? ? Growing them from saved seeds will result in vigorous vegetables perfectly adapted to your local environment. Enjoy gardening in harmony with nature ?
● Seed Saving Method
Cut ripe fruits in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon (well-developed seeds can be harvested from the lower half of the fruit). Let sit overnight in a container, wash with water to remove any empty seeds that float, and dry in the shade for several hours after a few hours of sun drying.
Carrying the resonance of pleasant sounds ?:*
Before shipping, I gently expose the seeds to the vibrations of a tuning fork that plays frequencies of love and harmony (such as 528Hz and 888Hz), wishing for them to grow vigorously and healthily in your hands. I send them out with all my heart, carried by pleasant vibrations.
* Shipping will be via Fourth Class Mail (no compensation, 4-7 days) in a small bag.
