About Ashley
Ashley is an older slicing cucumber developed for hot, humid conditions, with dark green fruits and strong adaptation to the South. It is especially noted for resistance to downy mildew in traditional descriptions.
Growing Ashley Cucumber
It is a good choice where summer disease pressure ruins more delicate slicers. Pick regularly at usable size, and keep vines mulched to reduce splash-borne disease.
