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.

  • Distinctive Appearance: Features medium green skin with small white spines, perfect for pickling at various sizes from 1.5 to 6 inches.
  • Optimal Growth Conditions: Thrives best in well-drained soil with full sunlight exposure; ideal germination temperature at around 72°F.
  • Efficient Harvest: Ready to pickle at 2 inches, fully mature for slicing at 6 inches, ensuring versatile use from a single vine.
  • Versatile Culinary Uses: From savory dills to fresh salads, these cucumbers add crunch and flavor to any dish.
  • Robust Plant Health: Grows excellently on fences or trellises, making it a space-saving addition to any garden while reducing disease risk.

Bring the classic taste of homemade pickles into your garden with our Non-GMO Homemade Pickles Cucumber Seeds. These cucumbers are exceptionally bred for pickling, boasting a solid and crisp texture, perfect for creating delicious, crunchy pickles right from your backyard.

Plant seeds outdoors after the last frost, covering lightly with soil in grouped patches to maintain optimal growth space. As vines, these cucumbers are best supported by a trellis or fence, which not only saves space but also promotes healthier plants. Harvesting can start when fruits reach 2 inches for pickles or allow them to grow to 6 inches for fresh slicing. Embrace the joy of gardening and the delight of tasting your own cultivated pickles.

Plant growth and coverage

  • Vining, climbing habit; ideal for trellises or fences
  • Height: 1.5–2.1 m (5–7 ft) on a trellis
  • Spread: 60–90 cm (24–36 in) when grown on the ground; more vertical when trellised
  • Spacing: 30 cm (12 in) apart on trellis; 90 cm (36 in) between rows (≈3 sq. ft. per plant)

Choosing a packet size

  • The 50-seed packet is ideal for home gardeners and small beds or patio trellises. It provides enough for a family patch with a few succession sowings or to share with a neighbor.
  • The 12.5 g packet suits community gardens and small market growers. It’s ample for several trellised rows and staggered plantings to keep jars filled through the season.
  • The 125 g packet is great for larger gardens, CSAs, or dedicated pickling plots. It supports multiple long rows and successive sowings for continuous harvests.
  • The 500 g packet is best for commercial growers and large-scale plantings. Choose this for multi-acre trellis systems or high-volume pickle production.
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

Sow cucumber seeds outdoors after the last frost date, placing them in well-drained soil under full sun. Space seeds 12 inches apart in rows 4 feet apart. For an earlier start, sow indoors 2-3 weeks before the last frost in biodegradable pots.

Germination typically occurs within 7-10 days at temperatures around 72°F. Once seedlings have a few true leaves, transplant them outdoors, ensuring to harden them off by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.

Support the vines with a trellis to save space and improve air circulation. Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Harvest cucumbers when they reach 2 inches for pickling or up to 6 inches for slicing. Enjoy your homegrown crunchy pickles!
