Beit Alpha Cucumbers (Cucumis sativus) are a burpless cucumber known for their tender skin and mild flavor. This variety is more productive if allowed to climb a trellis.

Cucumbers are great in salads, mini English sandwiches, drinks or just eaten plain. This variety makes a tasty option for pickles. Cucumbers are a must for many Japanese and Asian dishes.

Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before planting outdoors after all danger of frost. For best germination, keep seeds evenly moist, not soggy, but do not allow to dry completely. Take care to not disturb roots when transplanting outside. Plant in hills 36-48" apart, or provide support, such as a trellis, for climbing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cucumbers greatly benefit from trellising.
As a vining plant, cucumbers grow best with a trellis. Keeping the plant off the ground and growing up a trellis allows for better air circulation and can reduce the potential of disease as well. When grown on a trellis, cucumbers can also produce higher yields.

There are many reasons why cucumbers can have a bitter taste. While some cucumbers are grown specifically for their bitter taste, others can turn bitter from excessive heat, dry soil, or a lack of sunlight or water.
The bitterness of harvested cucumbers can be reduced by cutting a half inch off of each end of the vegetable before peeling. You can also rub the cut end’s skin against the inside of the cucumber and rinse off the foam it produces. These methods are known to remove cucurbitacins, the compound responsible for the bitter flavor.

Prepare brine by bringing water, vinegar, and salt to a boil to dissolve the salt. Put a dill blossom or sprig, 5 black peppercorns, 3-4 cloves of garlic, and a bay leaf at the bottom of each jar. Mix in the rest of your spices and tightly pack your cucumbers up to the neck of the jar. Once the brine has come to a boil, carefully pull it over the pickles leaving about 1/2” space at the top of each jar. For quick pickles allow some time for cooling, then move your jars to the fridge. For long-term storage, process each jar for 15 minutes.

Select a fully ripe cucumber. Scoop the seeds and surrounding pulp into a container, add water, and allow it to ferment for a few days. Seeds that will be viable for planting will sink to the bottom. Skim off the floaters and gel on the top of the water. Then, rinse the remaining seeds thoroughly, removing all pulp and debris. Allow the seeds to dry completely before storing.
