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".
- Merideth G.AL, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars10/9/25My first delicious success!
100% germination rate. Did well in partial shade (80-90 degree afternoon sun with dappled shade). Hit maturity in the exact amount of time listed. They took off once I transplanted the seedlings and grew so healthy - my only plant that didn't succumb to pests or mold. The cucumbers are delicious. I had some pollination issues but that's on me. Fruit still plumped up and I could not be happier. I've struggled with getting the right conditions for my seedlings to take hold after transplant but this guy made me proud and I will definitely plant again. I also did not thin my seedlings (started 2 per cell), and that was not a problem. I couldn't bare to thin when there were only 10 seeds in the pack and everything germinated lol. Now I know I can confidently plant 1 seed per cell next time. (TBH I don't understand the need to multisow when you're starting in seed trays lol). The healthy vines were beautiful on the trellis (I recommend a tall one because my vines grew to 6+ feet) These are strong seeds - Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for this fantastic 5-star review! "My first delicious success!" is exactly what we love to hear about Tasty Green Cucumber Seeds - and wow, what an incredible success story from 100% germination all the way to those delicious homegrown cucumbers!
We absolutely love that these seeds gave you that confidence-building experience you needed! There's something so special about finding that one plant that just thrives and makes you feel like a gardening superstar, especially when you've been struggling with getting other seedlings to take hold. The fact that your Tasty Greens were your only plants to resist pests and mold just shows what strong, resilient performers these cucumber seeds really are.
Your experience with partial shade growing is so valuable for other gardeners! It's amazing that they handled those 80-90 degree afternoons with dappled shade and still delivered such healthy, productive vines. And those 6+ foot vines on your trellis must have been absolutely gorgeous - there's something so satisfying about watching cucumber vines climb and flourish like that!
We totally get your logic about not wanting to thin when you had perfect germination from all 10 seeds - that's actually brilliant problem-solving, and it's so helpful for other gardeners to know that Tasty Greens can handle that kind of close spacing without issues. Your confidence to plant one seed per cell next time is exactly the kind of growing wisdom that comes from hands-on success!
Your amazing first-time cucumber growing experience will be so inspiring for other gardeners who want to discover just how rewarding and reliable Tasty Green Cucumber Seeds can be!

- Reta M.MA, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars9/5/25Dependable, resisted downy mildew
I have been growing this variety for 3 years now. The first year I had a very large crop. The past 2 summers have been hot and humid (early in the season too) and the yield has been less BUT this is the only cucumber variety that did reasonably well (Spacemaster, Double Yield did not do well). Resisted downy mildew until just this past week (early Sept) but the leaves have only a few spots right now and the plant is still producing a few new fruits. Really life this cuke!!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with our Tasty Green Cucumber Seeds! Three years of growing the same variety really speaks volumes - you clearly know what works in your garden!
It's fantastic to hear how well these cucumbers have adapted to your challenging growing conditions. Those hot, humid early seasons can be so tough on cucumbers, but the fact that your Tasty Greens kept producing when other varieties struggled shows just how resilient they really are.
We're especially impressed that they've resisted downy mildew for so long! That disease resistance is such a game-changer, and even now with just a few spots appearing in early September, it sounds like they're still going strong and producing fruit. That's exactly the kind of dependable performance every gardener hopes for.
Your loyalty to this variety after three seasons tells us everything we need to know - you've found a winner!

- SuzanneVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars8/11/25The best!
If you like the bags of mini seedless snacking cucumbers at the grocery store you will love these. I had them for the first time last year. Had 6 plants and got plenty of cucumbers for my family to enjoy each day. This year, rabbits got to 5 of my 6 seedlings so only one lived. It took over the entire trellis I had expected to use for 6 plants and we are getting 3-7 cucumbers A DAY from one plant this July and August. Pictures are of one day's harvest and the plant taking over the trellis (and then some). I am over the moon with these seeds and will get them every year for the rest of time. 5 stars!
