This Slab of Seed will grow you 3 delicious heirloom cucumber varieties:

  • Ashley cucumbers are an early variety and a prolific producer of medium size, thick 20cm fruits that have few spines. The more you pick the more they produce. They are more resistant to downy mildew and other problems normally caused by humid conditions. It was developed by the South Carolina Truck Experiment Station and was released in 1956
    • Tasting note: Crisp & crunchy
  • Homemade Pickles cucumbers are also known as Southern Homemade Pickles and are the best crunchy dill pickles you have ever tasted! They are a vigorous, high-yielding, solid, crisp medium green fruit with small white spines. Pick at 3cm for tiny sweet pickles or grow to 10cm for dills and spears. Pickling cucumbers have been used for thousands of years and were first documented in the Tigris Valley in India in 2030 BC
    • Tasting note: Small & crunchy
  • Lemon cucumbers have round 5-7cm spherical fruits with yellow, gold skin that is thin and tender with some striping and mottling and tiny bristles that are edible but can easily be removed. The inner flesh is pale green to yellow with edible seeds and has a mild, sweet taste with a cool, crisp texture. Lemon cucumbers are believed to have originated in India and the Middle East in the 16th century as referenced by ancient Middle Eastern texts
    • Tasting note: Fruity & fresh

About Sow Delicious

In 2013, Vanessa Jacobs set out to find the simplest way to grow a garden fit for a foodie, giving people the opportunity to proudly plant a garden that is Sow Delicious! She came up with the idea for the ‘Slab of Seed’ which might look like a slab of chocolate, but is made from a special blend of organically enriched super-soil and infused with rare heirloom seed – the purest & oldest seed on earth which is also non-GMO. The slabs are handmade in a unique little chocolate factory in the heart of Eden in The Garden Route.
