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.

  • Compact Growth: Ideal for container or trellis gardening, boasting short, branching vines that are perfect for limited space.
  • Optimal Planting Conditions: Thrives when seeded outdoors post-frost; prefers wet Jiffy pots for transplantation to minimize root disturbance.
  • Harvesting Features: Begins yielding dark green, 20cm cucumbers continuously throughout the summer, with fruits that have a crunchy texture and non-bitter peel.
  • Versatile Culinary Uses: Excellent for fresh, crunchy dills when young or delicious slicing cucumbers when fully mature.
  • Resilient & Productive: High yielding and maintains production all summer. Best when grown on a fence or trellis to save space and encourage vertical growth.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

Sow Patio Snacker Cucumber seeds outdoors once the risk of frost has passed. Plant them in groups of 3-4 seeds, lightly covering with soil, and maintain a spacing of 120 cm between groupings. For an early start, begin indoors 2-3 weeks before the last frost using Jiffy pots.

Seeds typically germinate within 7-10 days at temperatures around 22°C (72°F). When seedlings have developed a few true leaves, transplant them gently to avoid root disturbance. Harden off by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.

Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, and apply a balanced fertilizer every few weeks. Train the vines onto a trellis or fence to save space and promote air circulation. Enjoy fresh cucumbers throughout the summer, perfect for salads or pickling.
