Quick Reference

Zones

Plant Hardiness Zones describe the average minimum winter temperature for a region. They tell you where a plant can reliably survive outdoors. For example, Zone 5 can handle colder winters than Zone 9. Matching a plant to your zone increases the chance of long-term success.

Days

  • For food crops: Days to maturity is the expected number of days from planting to first harvest. This helps gardeners plan their growing season and time their harvests.
  • For non-food plants: Days to germination indicates how long it usually takes seeds to sprout under normal conditions. This is key for starting seeds successfully.

Types

  • F1 (Hybrid): A cross between two parent varieties. Hybrids are bred for vigor, uniformity, and specific traits such as disease resistance. Seeds saved from F1 plants don’t grow true to type. That means if you try to regrow them from seed, the plant won't necessarily be the same as last year's
  • OP (Open-Pollinated): Varieties that naturally pollinate and remain stable across generations. Seeds can be saved and replanted with consistent results.
  • HM (Heirloom): An open-pollinated variety that has been handed down for many generations. Heirlooms are valued for flavor, tradition, and genetic diversity.

Grows

  • Outdoors: Well-suited for garden beds, raised beds, or open soil, where natural conditions are stable.
  • Windowsill: Compact plants that thrive in containers indoors, often needing only modest light.
  • Anywhere: Highly adaptable plants that perform reliably in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Lifecycle

  • Annual: Grows, flowers, sets seed, and dies in one growing season. Many vegetables and flowers are annuals.
  • Perennial: Lives for multiple years, regrowing each season after going dormant. Often used in landscaping or long-term food crops.
  • Sp. Perennial (Self-Perennializing): A plant that reseeds itself or self-pollinates, giving the effect of perennial growth even if individual plants live shorter lives.

Size

Indicates the recommended container size or soil depth for best growth.

  • “X″ Pot”: The ideal pot diameter (e.g., 5″ Pot), ensuring enough root space.
  • DS (Deep Soil): Requires planting directly in the ground or in a deep raised bed, as shallow pots restrict growth.

  • Appealing Dark Green Color: Our Eureka cucumbers boast a rich, dark green hue that remains vibrant from the small sizes up to full growth, enhancing the visual appeal of your garden and dishes.
  • Optimal Growth Conditions: Plant these seeds outdoors post-frost, or start indoors for an early yield. They thrive best when sowed in well-moisturized Jiffy pots, spaced in groupings and benefit from trellis or fence support for space-efficient vertical growth.
  • Harvest Flexibility: Eureka cucumbers are ready for pickling at just 2 inches long and are equally perfect for slicing when fully grown. Enjoy a continuous and versatile harvest throughout the growing season.
  • Culinary Versatility: From fresh salads to homemade pickles, these cucumbers excel in both roles. Try them in the delicious Cucumber-Mint Salad Dressing for a tantalizing summer dish.
  • Robust Disease Resistance: Grow with confidence thanks to the Eureka cucumber€™s strong resistance to common plant diseases, ensuring a healthy and bountiful crop with minimal hassle.

Introducing the unparalleled Eureka Cucumber Seeds, a dual-purpose cultivar that simplifies your gardening by serving both slicing and pickling needs. Ideal for gardeners who appreciate versatility and robustness in their cultivars. Plant these seeds outdoors when the frost threat has passed, placing 3-4 seeds together in groups spaced about 4 feet apart. For an earlier harvest, start indoors 2-3 weeks prior to your planned outdoor planting date. Use Jiffy pots to minimize root disturbance and keep them moist when transplanting. Place your plants on a trellis or fence to save space and support their growth into healthy, vibrant vines.

These cucumbers should be fertilized initially with a 10-52-17 formula for the first three weeks. Enjoy harvesting delicate, 2-inch cukes for pickling, or wait until they mature into perfect slicing cucumbers. Both stages offer distinct, crisp textures and a delightful, rich flavor. Experience the joy of growing your own cucumbers and venture into delicious culinary experiments with our recipe for Cucumber-Mint Salad Dressing—a refreshingly cool addition to your summer meals. With the Eureka cucumber’s easy-growing characteristics, you’re set for a successful and enjoyable gardening season. Encourage your green thumb today with these high-quality, versatile cucumber seeds.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

Sow Eureka cucumber seeds outdoors after the last frost, spacing them 3-4 feet apart in well-drained soil. For an earlier start, plant seeds indoors 2-3 weeks before your outdoor planting date. Use Jiffy pots to minimize root disturbance.

Germinate seeds by keeping them in a warm, sunny location with consistent moisture. Once seedlings have a few leaves, harden them off by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions before transplanting. Use a trellis or fence to support vertical growth.

Water cucumbers regularly and apply a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. Harvest cucumbers when they reach 2 inches for pickling or allow them to grow larger for slicing. Enjoy their crisp texture and rich flavor in various dishes.
