Cucumber Muncher

Cucumber Muncher is a small and tasty salad cucumber with crispy and juicy flesh completely free of bitterness. It is equally suitable for eating fresh straight from the plant as for fermenting or preserving. The variety can be grown both in greenhouses and outdoors and is easy to grow even in Swedish climate conditions.

Muncher cucumber is also perfect for those who want to save their own seeds for next year, as it does not cross-pollinate with other cucumber varieties. Sow indoors in the spring or directly outdoors in May when the weather warms up.
