{"product_id":"cucumber-ancash-market","title":"Cucumber Seeds, Ancash Market","description":"\u003cp\u003e(\u003cem\u003eCucumis sativus\u003c\/em\u003e). A Peruvian treasure that was collected in Chacas, Peru, by the late pepper historian Jean Andrews. This landrace traces its ancestry to cucumbers brought from Spain in the 1500s. It’s also known as Pepino Criollo Chacasino or Ancashino. It has been carefully selected for its resistance to pests and mildew. Grown in the cool climate of the high Andes, this cucumber is especially suited to cooler parts of the U.S. and will remain productive all season if grown on trellises. The cucumbers are best when harvested 6 inches long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ancash Market cucumbers thrive in warm, sunny conditions with well-drained soil and consistent watering. Ideal for both open ground and trellising, they yield tender-skinned fruits prized in Andean markets. Use mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Trellising supports air circulation, reducing disease. Keep an eye out for pests like cucumber beetles and aphids; organic controls are effective. Harvest frequently to maintain production. Some afternoon shade is beneficial in the hottest summer weather.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59510983491870,"sku":"WW127","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/cucumber_ancash_market.jpg?v=1782393154","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.com\/products\/cucumber-ancash-market","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
