The Cucumber Kit

Munching on your first homegrown cucumber is close to magic. With its fresh crunch and unique flavor, it's hard to believe it's 96 percent water. Growing cucumbers is not only easy, it's also really satisfying when you see your harvest grow.

Cucumber seeds are large and easy to handle, so why not put them in small pots for convenience? Fill the pots almost to the brim with soil, water them well and then place two seeds in each pot. Cover them lightly with soil. To kick-start the germination process, cover your little cucumber kids with a suitable plastic lid or non-woven fabric and let them germinate in a warm environment, preferably around 25 °C. Soon you will see them sprouting like little green warriors.

For an early start, start pre-growing indoors between March and May. Cucumber plants grow like a hell of a rocket, and within about 5 weeks from seed to finished plant you will be ready to plant them out in your chosen growing location. Sow one or two seeds 1cm deep in a pot that is about 8cm in diameter and start your own cucumber party, my friend!

All our seeds are produced in Sweden by dedicated growers who grow small-scale and sustainably. Simply a careful craftsmanship from start to finish. In collaboration with Nordfrö. Read more

Muncher

In our search for the perfect cucumber we have come across Muncher and perhaps we have found the right one. It is a small salad cucumber with a fantastic full-bodied good taste and juicy crunchiness without bitterness. Works just as well to just enjoy as to ferment or pickle. Works well in greenhouses and outdoors. An all-rounder and you can save seeds from it because you only need to grow one type of cucumber.

Northern Pickling

Early variety that is pre-cultivated 3-4 weeks before planting out after the last frost night. Harvest young fruits for the best taste. Northern Pickling produces a large harvest on relatively short vines and is very suitable for smaller growing areas. It is resistant to spot disease and is also one of our favorites to put in!
