Cucumis sativus

These are becoming more and more popular in the South African supermarkets, Beit Alpha is a deliciously sweet and crunchy cucumber that can be used in salads or as pickles. There is no need to peel this cucumber as its skin is tender and isn’t bitter like other cucumber varieties. Beit Alpha is extremely easy to grow and is ideal for production in a greenhouse. This cucumber is scrumptious on sandwiches and in salads and has a great long lasting shelf life.

Magnificent tender English style cucumber. These little guys are fantastic in salads or for fresh munching. I'd describe the flavour as slightly sweet.

Directly planted these, and they produced so many lovely tasting cucumbers! Will definitely be planting again this coming season!

Produces a lot of cucumbers. It struggles a bit with our Durban heat so I plant them just as summer is ending. Grows well the rest of the year

These were very easy to grow and produced a LOT of cucumbers. No need to remove skin, just rub the the "spikes" off with the rough side of a dishwashing sponge

Didn't win with these at all. To be fair, I've not had much luck with cucumbers in general, but these guys I couldn't even get to adulthood. Maybe they need specific soil or something that I'm missing? If you've had success please share your secret!
