Coverage & Planting Details
| Coverage | This packet sows up to 6 feet of trellised cucumbers. |
|---|---|
| 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". |

- Jackie Q.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars7/4/26Tasty and productive!
I planted two plants that withstood an early transplanting after I realized the soil mix I chose was too dense. The fruit is sweet and tender-skinned. Great variety!

We're so stoked to hear about your fantastic success with the Tasty Green Cucumber Seeds!

There's nothing better than a cucumber variety that delivers on both taste and productivity! Thanks for sharing your cucumber growing success with us! Keep on growing 🌻️
- Carol S.Verified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars7/1/26They aren’t growing in the Texas heat
The seeds germinated well and grew to about 4 inches high and have not grown any more and have not produced any cucumbers. They were planted in April.
Which best describes you as a gardener? IntermediateBIBotanical Interests7/6/26Hey Carol,
I am so sorry your cucumbers stalled out! Because your seeds successfully germinated, it means they were healthy and viable, but young plants will often pause their growth due to environmental stress. In the intense Texas heat, young cucumbers can go into "survival mode," and factors like inconsistent watering or depleted soil nutrients can also halt their progress. We want to see you succeed, so please reach out to us at customerservice@epicgardening.com with a few details about your garden setup, and we'd be happy to help you troubleshoot! Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we are committed to ensuring your experience is positive. Thank you once again for your input. Keep on growing 🌻️

They produce great in a 5 gallon put. I’v. been a fan since 2024. The fruit is delicious and more productive than I expected.

- Natalie S.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars3/26/26Wow
Get ready for a lot of cucumbers! I live in Central Florida zone 10 A and the first time I planted one of the seeds it was in mid August and it did so well! It is now April the next year and I used one seed last month and it is growing well. Last summer, the plant yielded so many cucumbers I was astonished. I was giving my coworkers many & they were ginormous. I had so many!! I look forward to many cucumbers this spring! Thanks Kevin!
