This variety has rapidly become the go-to cucumber for gardeners as well as market gardeners. Disease-resistant, heat tolerant, and less susceptible to powdery mildew, this variety is a great one to grow. Plants produce many cucumbers around 7-8 inches in length and are terrific for salads, pickles, and fresh eating. Another nice feature of Ashley is that the cucumbers are very low on vines making them easy to handle and harvest.
