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.

Wow, I was so amazed by this plant. It produced so many cucumbers; they were delicious eaten fresh or pickled. I did both and enjoyed them so much. I accidentally planted two plants because I accidentally dropped a seed, and omg I had so many cucumbers that I had to get super creative. Will definitely be planting again!

Thank you so much for sharing your incredible growing success story! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your Homemade Pickles Cucumber Seeds produced such an amazing yield - what a wonderful "problem" to have with that accidental second plant giving you so many delicious cucumbers! It sounds like you really made the most of your harvest by enjoying them both fresh and pickled - there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of creating your own homemade pickles from cucumbers you grew yourself! We love that you got super creative with all those cucumbers, and we're so excited that you're already planning to plant them again next season. Keep on growing 🌻️

These are the best little cukes for eating fresh. I ordered other varieties from other companies the past 2 years and was disappointed.

I have an obsession now and I love it! Jacques and Kevin have inspired me and your whole team! I can't wait to start full force in the spring, I have some things growing now, but my mind is always racing, "what can I grow now?" Your videos, blogs, guests and all your other stuff just fascinate me and my family loves this "new" me!
My grandkids love this! We garden together and it is my peaceful place.
