Named for its perfectly straight fruit, these seeds are very productive and grow fruit that is 6-8 inches long. The fruit is smooth skin with a cylindrical shape and rounded blunt ends. It has a small seed cavity and crisp, fine-grained flesh that is known for its high quality and excellent flavor.
When and Where to Plant: Select a sunny, well drained location and sow seed in the late spring when the soil is warm, and all danger of frost is past. For earlier crop, start indoors 4-6 weeks before setting out. For best results, loosen soil with spade or fork, fertilize with vegetable food and smooth with rake. Firm soil over seed and keep moist.
Care: Keep soil moist, and feed monthly. Tie vines on trellis to save space.
Harvesting: Pick at any size up to 6-8 in./15-20 cm. and before fruit color begins to turn yellow. Pick regularly so fruit will continue to form.
