When to Start Inside: 2 to 4 weeks before average last frost. 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.

    I have an obsession now and I love it! Jacques and Kevin have inspired me and your whole team! I can't wait to start full force in the spring, I have some things growing now, but my mind is always racing, "what can I grow now?" Your videos, blogs, guests and all your other stuff just fascinate me and my family loves this "new" me!

    My grandkids love this! We garden together and it is my peaceful place.

    Growing very well. Haven't pickled any yet but they look like cute pickles growing on the vine already, haha. Excited to grow this one every year.

    These plants are beautiful and thriving! Easy, quick to grow and are producing heavy yields. They love to climb, bees are having a blast with the tons of flowers it’s producing. I’m in San Antonio, TX zone 8b and Im about to sow a new set of plants.

    Second year growing these. I have not tried pickling yet because I can't stop eating them fresh. So delicious with very great flavor, crispy and juicy. A bonus is they are also very pretty with their variegated colors. This will be one I grow every year.

    This is my first time growing the pickle cucumbers and the first time using your seeds. I have 100% germination which I’m totally excited about! Let’s hope they do well in the garden! Love your products, books and teaching videos! Thank you 💕
