Baby Persian Cucumber

I'm not a fan of cucumbers, but this one is delicious. It is prolific and that's a good thing because once I give one to someone, they agree that these are the best cucumbers they've tasted and want more. Try them, you'll like them.

These little cucumbers and the others I purchased from Botanical Interests has definitely become my favorite cucumbers. Tender and fresh they are the perfect size for snacking or salads.

My favorite cucumber! Great for slicing and pickling. Produces many cukes.

The seeds from this packet had a great germination rate and the plants grew healthy and beautiful. The only problem was, they only produced female flowers. Loads and loads of female flowers, zero males. Not even one. So guess what -- not one of those beautiful cucumbers was ever pollinated. I tried hand pollinating with an artist's brush (which has worked for me before with other vegetables). You can sometimes do that successfully if the flowers are actually bisexual, which I thought was possible, so I tried..still no success. This is not my first go round growing cucumbers, by the way, so to forestall that: plenty of water, sunlight, fertile soil. This thing just wouldn't produce. Oh well, I wasted a season and a bunch of water. Next year, am almost guaranteed better luck with some other variety.

"Persian Baby" is my favorite cucumber variety to date. Though it performs poorly outside in our zone 3 garden, it is very productive in the high tunnel where it is shielded from temperature extremes and wind. The fruits are tasty whether harvested small or large. They remain tender and crisp in the refrigerator if kept in a resealable plastic bag. These cukes are great in salads and pickled, and there is no need to peel them for fresh eating. Temperatures as low as 40 degrees F are tolerated by these plants.

I love these Persian cucumbers and was very happy to find a good seed source. The plants grew well and produced (and is still producing now in early September) many tasty cucumbers. They grow quickly, so watch each day and pick them when they're the size you like before they turn into monsters.

Best ever cucumbers I have grown. Will get them again next year. Small, crisp. tasty and good production!

These cucumbers are the best we've ever eaten! They are great fresh in a salad & also pickled. They were easy to grow & will always be a part of our garden.

Fall growing in the low desert. Planted these and just harvested my first cucumber and it's only been 50 days. Amazing taste and prolific based on the volume of fruits I have growing. Very, very happy with these seeds.
