Coverage & Planting Details
| Coverage | This packet sows up to 22 feet of trellised cucumbers. |
|---|---|
| Row Spacing | 36" |
| Seed Depth | ½" |
| Seed Spacing | A group of 2 seeds every 12" |
| Thinning | When 3 leaves, thin to 1 plant every 12" |
| Germination | 5–10 days |
| Start Indoors | 2 to 4 weeks before average last frost. Cucumbers are sensitive to root disturbance; sow in biodegradable pots. |
| Direct Sow | RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 60°F, ideally 70°–90°F. |
| Growing & 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. |

- JaeRated 5 out of 5 stars5/17/26Amazing Cucumber for Hot Climates
I bought these seeds from my local nursery (still botanical interest brand) and absolutely loved them! This is my first year successfully having cucumbers, that weren’t destroy by cucumber beetles, squash vine bores or the crazy heat and still pollinated after the temperature reach the high 90s. So far I’ve had cucumbers to eat and to pickle which is crazy as I only have them planted in one 1 foot x 3 foot area. Would 100/10 recommend for my warm climate growers, this vine grows fast, produces a ton and tastes great!
BIBotanical Interests5/18/26Hey Jae,
We're so happy to hear that our our Homemade Pickles Cucumber Seeds were your first cucumbers to survive all those common garden challenges - cucumber beetles, squash vine borers, AND those brutal high 90s temperatures. That's exactly what we love to hear! What a great harvest, cucumbers for both eating fresh and pickling from just a 1x3 foot space is amazing productivity. Thanks for sharing your fantastic cucumber growing success with us! Keep on growing 🌻️

This pack never sprouted. On the third round of trying. Must have gotten a bad batch.

I never had a chance to make pickles because my family enjoyed them right after picking. Hopefully I can pickle them this year.

We love to hear your Homemade Pickles Cucumber Seeds passed the family taste test with flying colors! It's such a good problem to have when the cucumbers are so delicious fresh that they never make it to the pickle jar. Here's hoping you can grow enough this year to satisfy both the fresh eating and the pickling - maybe plant an extra row or two! Keep on growing 🌻️

- CollinVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1/16/26Pickle Paradise
I would give these 10 stars if possible. We planned on making a lot of pickles this past summer and were pleasantly surprised with how many cucumbers were growing. What we didn't realize was the sheer amount of cucumbers these seeds produce. We had more pickles than we knew what to do with. Ate them, gave them to friends, sold them, donated them - we were over run with pickles. Taste great, pickle well, will consume your garden. 10/10

This review has us absolutely cracking up! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your "Pickle Paradise" experience with our Homemade Pickles Cucumber Seeds! We're thrilled to hear they exceeded your expectations so dramatically - though it sounds like you got way more than you bargained for! The fact that you ate them, gave them away, sold them, AND donated them and still felt overrun is incredible testimony to just how productive these seeds are.
We love that despite being completely overwhelmed with cucumbers, you're still giving them a perfect 10/10! That's exactly the kind of abundant harvest we hope for with this variety. Thank you for choosing us and for sharing this hilarious and wonderful growing success story with us. Keep on growing 🌻️
