Want to try something new in your garden? This is it! Armenian cucumber with handsome, light green, thin skin is burpless, nearly seedless, and more tolerant of heat than most cucumbers. Sometimes called serpent cucumber or yard long, it is technically a variety of melon! A long production period means harvesting right into fall.

Sowing Info
When to Sow Outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 60°F, ideally 70°–90°F.
When to Start Inside: 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date. Cucumbers are sensitive to root disturbance; sow in biodegradable pots.

Growing Info
Harvesting: Pick, and pick some more! Overly mature cucumbers on the vine will slow production of new cucumbers. Cut the stem rather than pulling at the fruit, as stems are fragile. To increase the quality and storage time, once picked, immediately immerse in cold water to disperse "field heat".

What a fantastic review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your Armenian Cucumber Seeds delivered such incredible abundance - "feeds a whole neighborhood" is exactly the kind of amazing productivity that makes Armenian cucumbers such legendary performers!
Your warning about being careful is so spot-on and hilarious! There's nothing quite like the delightful "problem" of having way more delicious cucumbers than you know what to do with. Two plants producing enough to share with the whole neighborhood really shows what prolific growers these Armenian cucumbers are. That's the kind of generous harvest that turns gardeners into the most popular people on the block!
We love that you highlighted both the incredible production AND the delicious flavor - that combination is exactly what makes Armenian cucumbers such winners in the garden! These long, crisp, mild beauties just keep producing and producing once they get going, and it sounds like yours are absolutely thriving.
Your experience will be so valuable for other gardeners to know - maybe they'll plan ahead for all that delicious abundance by lining up eager neighbors and friends! There are definitely worse problems to have than too many tasty homegrown cucumbers.
Keep on growing 🌻️

All the seeds I planted, grew. I am a first time gardener so I’m not familiar with how they grow, but hoping they fatten up soon. They have had plenty of water and I use worm tea as fertilizer, so I will keep watching and hoping!

The Armenian cucumber did excellent for me and it’s delicious. I always have great success with seeds from botanical interest.
I’ve been a fan of Kevin‘s for many years now I enjoy all of his wonderful videos and love how he’s brought on many other gardeners with him. I’m really happy for him and his team. Everything they’ve been able to accomplish. I hope he has many more years of helping us grow.
