| Product Care Instructions | Keep plants well-watered during the growing season, especially during dry spells. Plants need about 1-2 inches of rain per week during the growing season. Use a rain gauge to check to see if you need to add water. It's best to water with a drip or trickle system that delivers water at low pressure at the soil level. If you water with overhead sprinklers, water early in the day so the foliage has t… |

Beautiful cucumber plants.
We got nearly 100% germination ratio. Once planted the plants took off. The panels in the trellis are 8 foot and vines have reached the roof. So far they have produced 10 gallons refrigerator pickles, 21 quarts canned pickles and multiple salads. Plants are still producing. They taste wonderful.

Great cucumber seed
This is a high producing plant! The vines were only 3-4 ft long and produced an abundance of large very tasty cucumbers. Germination was great.

Near 100% germination rate, disease resistant.. grows great!
I've been growing these for the last two years and they always germinate, grow quickly, and the cucumbers the plants produce are great. They're resistant (but not immune) to powdery mildew which helps. I grow them in big pots and add some fertilizer every now and then. The plants suffer a bit when it's super hot or humid, but are generally easy to grow. Luckily we have a healthy honey bee population to keep our plants pollinated. See the attached pics for actual cucumbers we've grown.. along with fresh lettuce which goes great with the cucumber!

Best cucumber I’ve ever grown
I have experimented with many types of cucumber varieties over the years and this one is the best. Disease resistant, productive, and great tasting fruits. Performs well in Michigan. Well worth the price per seed.

Low germination and blooms no fruit
As an experienced Gardener of over 40 years I know good plants when I see them. These were very slow to germinate with about 50% termination. Took a very long time to get the third leaf. As they grew I noticed there were no blooms. These were planted in the same soul with a very thriving garden of tomatoes. Summary:Low germination and blooms no fruit. Very slow growing. Waste of money. Will not buy again.

Great Germination Rate
I honestly thought I would have a couple seedlings and see how they grew. I only planted a couple seeds, but I have 100% germination rate so far. They are blooming beautifully in my grow tent. The cucumbers do require a lot of moisture and I would recommend planting them in at least a 5 gallon pot. My plants have quickly grown in these 1 gallon points and now I'm worried about how to replant them. They are climbing well in the space.

will not germinate
no matter what I tried, I could not get them to start. (I have been gardening for 50 years) The seeds are old.
