Cucumber, Muncher ORGANIC

Cucumber – Muncher ORGANIC Cucumis sativus A perfect snacking cucumber that is not likely to even make it to the kitchen! This Muncher cucumber variety produces loads of small cucumbers that can be eaten fresh or pickled. Suggested Planting Requirements: Cucumbers can be seeded inside or in a greenhouse several weeks before the last frost and transplant into warm soil. For zones 9 and 10 you can transplant your cucumbers out mid-April. Watch a video on how to transplant correctly on our YouTube channel. Plant cucumbers in small, 2’ high/2’ diameter mounds with plenty of added organic matter. If direct sowing, sow 6-7 seeds per mound. Once the seedlings sprout, thin to the 3 best vines. Plants can be potted and/or trellised and/or left to sprawl on the ground. For the best production, we recommend that you trellis your cucumbers and avoid overhead watering as this leads to foliar diseases.

Harvesting & Storage: Harvest when the fruit is small to medium-sized for best flavor. For the Tendergreen cucumber, we recommend harvesting them when they are 3-5".
