Mini Munch Cucumbers are the best.

I’ve been planting these for several years now and I don’t grow any other variety. They grow really well in my Earthbox. They germinate easily and they produce tons of the sweetest, tastiest cucumbers ever. Pick them when they’re 4” long or so and they’ll reward you with more all season long.

non-stop production, amazing taste right off the vine

We are in a coastal climate in Northern California, and so we grow our cucumbers in the greenhouse. This is the 2nd year we grew these cucumbers and they are now our favorite. Our plants thrived trellised in our greenhouse and we were picking non-stop from May through September, with just 3 plants. The taste is just sweet enough, light and with a nice crisp. Perfect snack, in salads, flavored water, you name it. We will always grow this variety.

Cucumis sativus A favorite in cuisine worldwide, cucumbers possess health benefits too numerous to mention. Incorporate cucumbers in your diet to aid with weight loss, as they are exceptionally low in calories (only about 8 calories in 1/2 cup), aid digestion, and rid toxins from the body. Among the more unusual qualities of the humble cuke is its ability to ease skin irritations. Use a piece of cucumber skin to soothe burns.

Days to maturity are calculated from date of direct seeding.

Culture

• Consistent, even watering is critical for best plant growth and fruit development
• Raised beds, plastic mulch, and trellising can improve yields, keep fruit straight and scab free
• Incorporate a shovelful of compost and 1/2 cup TSC's Complete fertilizer per hill

Direct Sowing
