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".

    Best cucumber I’ve ever planted. They are resilient to powdery mildew (till the end of the season), fast growing and they produce crunchy juicy long cucumbers.

    I can always count on Botanical Interest seeds. Packaged with care, seeds rarely, if ever, disappoint and the selection is always spot on.

    Seriously good cucumber! Sweet and no off-putting bitterness, so crunchy, new favorite for sure. This one grows very well on trellis too, reaches and grabs quickly.

    The tasty green cucumbers were truly THE TASTIEST!! My husband planted the entire first packet I ordered, which was about 6 seeds. I didn’t realize he did that, so I thought the 2 seeds I told him to plant were overly prolific, but I’d say they that for 6 plants they produced well. They seemed to resist all disease (in Atlanta, GA area) and only one pest burrowed into a cuc. Even when they got as big as a baby’s thigh, these were still delicious! No bitterness, just sweet and yummy. My neighbors couldn’t get enough! I reordered 3 packs for 2025
