Customer Reviews
I never write reviews. I’m a decent gardener. Zone 8b. Got 3 plants from packet of 10 seeds (likely gardener failure rate), but these three plants have been prolific! Daily multiple ripe, tasty cucumbers. My kids and I can’t get enough!
I have grown Mini Munch in the past with good results and I love the size and flavor - however, the last two years have been a bust - I might be doing something wrong but I get little tiny cucumbers - about 1 inch long and they they seem to stop maturing. I have tried a couple of different things and have replanted on more time and if it doesn't work, will have to find a new variety that can produce here in Tennessee

Picked my first Mini Munchie cuke yesterday. Wow cukes in June in a cool part of the Bay Area. The flavor of the 3" cake was great.
We’ve already gotten a lot of cucumbers!

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.
