Straight Eight is a slicing cucumber that has become an all-time favorite. As its name suggests, Straight Eight is a straighter, dark green variety. It is best picked when it is about 8" in length. Grow on a fence, trellis, or in your garden. An easy plant to grow wherever you choose. Garden tip: Regular moisture is vital to cucumber production. Vines will wilt quickly when soil is dry. About 1" a week should be sufficient under normal weather conditions.
These will be direct sow. "An easy plant to grow wherever you choose" -- perfect! I think I'll stagger these and plant one plant per week starting this or next weekend.
