Description

While the vines are compact they are also very strong, making the Muncher Cucumber a fine choice for container growing. It is a Middle Eastern Beit-Alpha type so the skin is very smooth and practically spineless. Delicious, burpless, and never bitter. The heavy yields of the Muncher Cucumber also pickle well at about the 4 size. It will reach 9 at full maturity.

Tips: The Muncher Cucumber should be planted in fertile soil, amended with compost or well rotted manure, and kept well watered. Trellising the vines allows for good air circulation, takes up less space, and provides shade for heat sensitive crops like lettuce. They benefit from growing on black plastic and by using row covers for weed, insect control, and more rapid growth.
