Cucumber, Southern Delight Hybrid 

A very substantial cuke with great flavor and good yields. Best of all it is resistant to downy and powdery mildew (a must in central FL).

Very reliable, from sprouting to final picking. I enrich my soil with worm castings, Miracle Grow Garden Soil and some potting soil at planting. I water heavily per ditch weekly and more often when temperatures are 90-100+. My vines grow in full sun on the chicken coop fence, a real treat for the chickens too. Heavy producer, I fertilize every 2 weeks with a combination of manure tea that I throw banana peel and crushed eggshells in and add Sea Magic and Terra Fresh soil food to the "tea" monthly. At the time of fertilizing, I also add Miracle Grow Bloom Buster. I also fertilize my tomatoes, zucchini, and peppers with "this recipe." My friends who have tummy problems after eating cucumbers, report "never even knew I have eaten these." We have enjoyed these cucumbers for years.

Southern Delight Hybrids are the best cucumbers I have ever grown AND eaten! I have a hard clay soil type and these cucs just keep on producing all summer long. Being disease tolerant is necessary for our southern Illinois high humidity levels. With extremely great flavor and crispness, my neighbors have come to rely on me to provide these cucumbers all summer long.
