Aonaga Jibai Cucumber Seeds - 25 Japanese Heirloom Long Green Cucumber Seeds

Aonaga Jibai is a traditional Japanese heirloom cucumber prized for its long, slender, deep green fruits and crisp, refreshing texture. This open-pollinated variety has been grown in Japan for generations and is a favorite among gardeners who enjoy Asian vegetables. The vigorous vines produce abundant yields of thin-skinned cucumbers that are excellent for fresh eating, slicing, pickling, and adding to salads.

These cucumbers are known for their mild, sweet flavor and crunchy bite. The fruits can grow quite long while remaining tender and flavorful. Aonaga Jibai is well suited to home gardens, raised beds, and trellis growing, where the climbing vines can be supported for straighter fruits and easier harvesting.

Planting & Care

Sow Aonaga Jibai cucumber seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, when soil has warmed to at least 60°F. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep in groups of 2 to 3 seeds, then thin to the strongest seedling. Cucumbers thrive in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during flowering and fruiting, and water at the base to help keep foliage dry.

Provide a trellis or support for the climbing vines to encourage straighter fruits and save garden space. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest regularly when fruits reach desired size to encourage continued production. Monitor for common cucumber pests and diseases, and rotate crops each season for best results.
