English greenhouse cucumbers and burpless cucumbers are two popular varieties of cucumbers that can be grown in a greenhouse environment. Burpless cucumbers have low cucurbitacin content, which is the chemical responsible for their bitterness. English cucumbers are longer, thinner, and less bitter than regular slicing cucumbers, with smaller seeds and edible skin. They are often wrapped in plastic and are known for causing less indigestion.
English cucumbers are also known as hothouse, greenhouse, seedless, burpless, and European cucumber. They are long, straight, with fewer seeds and thin skins, averaging about a foot in length. They are often grown in greenhouses or protected environments, as they thrive in warmer temperatures. Burpless cucumbers are crisp, sweet, and virtually seedless, and can be picked small or grown to longer lengths.
English cucumbers are also known as “seedless” and even “burpless” cucumbers, but they are more expensive than the other types. They are bred with low levels of cucurbitacin and are part of the gourd family. They are sometimes labeled for sale as “seedless” or “burpless”.
English cucumbers are known for their high yield, tenderness, mildew resistance, and popularity in stores. They are also known as hothouse cucumber, burpless cucumber, seedless cucumber, and European cucumber.

📹 Do This To Avoid Diseased Cucumber Plants
In this video, you’ll learn how to avoid pests and disease on your cucumber plants. Cucumbers are some of the most exciting …
I started using kaolin clay for the first time this year. I found only ONE cucumber beetle … and it caused bacterial wilt. Last year they were everywhere. I do not prune to a single stem – and fortunately, I took off the large stem with the wilt and the other part of the plant is now flourishing. That would not have happened had I pruned to a single stem. The kaolin clay is a game changer! Pest pressure is about 5% of what it was last year! I don’t use SurroundWP, just 100% clay. Works great. I also mix DE and baking soda with the clay powder in my pump sprayer to not only deter numerous insects, but also dehydrate any beetles (DE) and create a non-hospitable environment for fungal diseases with the baking soda. So far, it’s been a GREAT year in the garden. This mixture is my new go-to. Just a heads-up on the clay …. do your best to avoid spraying any flowers so the pollinators can still do their job easily 😊
My cucumbers are being attacked. By what is unknown. I’ve searched for cucumber beetles and loop worms and haven’t found one. I have my cucumbers trellised and whatever is eating leaves and flowers is mostly attacking the leaves and flowers at the top of the 6 foot trellis. I am at a complete loss. Any clues what else it might be? Thanks. Also, they only seem to be attacking the Armenian cucumbers only
I’m not personally fond of cucumbers but I love butternut squash, which seems to have many of the same appearance and characteristics. I’ve so far used direct sow or just gotten volunteers (which have done better yet — because they grew out of old compost and seem to love very rich soil). The only real problem I’ve had has been powdery mildew in late summer. Do you expect most cucumber tips carry over to squashes?
