Beit Alpha Cucumber

The Beit Alpha Cucumber is large, smooth, somewhat blocky, burpless, and a nearly spineless fruit that can either be pickled or eaten fresh. The flavor is very mild. This variety very rarely turns bitter. This is a self-pollinating cucumber.

Harvest: Check and pick every day to keep the harvest flowing.

Tips: The Beit Alpha Cucumber should be planted in fertile soil, amended with compost or well-rotted manure, and kept well watered. Trellising the vines allow for good air circulation, takes up less space, and provides shade for heat-sensitive crops like lettuce.
