Ankashino - Cucumber
This Peruvian treasure offers fruit with smooth green skin. This mildew-resistant variety is particularly well-suited to cool, humid climates. Fruits are generally eaten before they reach 15 cm in length.
It is a variety transmitted by Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds and brought back from Chacas in Peru by the late Jean Andrews, the USA's capsicum expert.

in bucket, in the ground
Sow in pots at a temperature of between 18 and 20°C, 6 weeks before planting. Transplant with the root ball, after the last frosts, in planting holes enriched with compost, spaced 1 m apart in all directions. Sowing in the open ground is possible under the same conditions when the soil is well warmed and outside temperatures no longer fall below 15°C.
Cucumbers like warm, rich soil. Mulching after planting retains water and protects from the cold. In dry regions, let the stems run along the ground; in wetter regions, trellis them. Regular watering will avoid accentuating the bitterness of the fruit.
