INCLUDED IN THIS SEED COLLECTION

1. Beit Alpha – A smooth, thin-skinned cucumber with crisp, juicy flesh and a mild, refreshing flavor. This is an Israeli parthenocarpic variety, meaning it produces fruit without pollination—so it’s ideal for greenhouses or areas with few pollinators. The fruits are about 6–8 inches long and never bitter, even in hot weather. Perfect for slicing fresh into salads or snacking right in the garden.

2. Metki (Armenian Cucumber) – Despite the name, this is actually a melon species that looks, tastes, and crunches just like a cucumber. The long, ribbed fruits can reach over 18 inches and stay tender even in intense summer heat. Pale green with a mild, slightly sweet flavor, Metki thrives in hot climates where regular cucumbers may struggle. It’s a fantastic choice for Southern or tropical gardeners looking for a reliable producer.

3. Boston Pickling – A classic heirloom beloved by generations of gardeners! This variety produces uniform, 3–5 inch cucumbers with firm texture and rich green color—perfect for pickling. Boston Pickling cucumbers grow quickly and yield heavily throughout the season. Their crunchy flesh holds up beautifully in brine, making them a go-to for homemade pickles.

4. Straight Eight – A dependable, all-purpose slicer that’s been a home garden favorite since the 1930s. The smooth, straight fruits average 8 inches long and are great for slicing into salads or sandwiches. Straight Eight is a vigorous grower with excellent disease resistance and consistent production. If you can only grow one cucumber variety, this is the classic choice that never disappoints.

5. Suyo Long – A traditional Asian heirloom known for its graceful, curling fruits that can grow up to 18 inches long. The skin is thin, ribbed, and tender—no need to peel! Suyo Long is incredibly productive and heat-tolerant, continuing to produce when other varieties slow down. Its flavor is sweet, crisp, and never bitter, even under summer stress. A great choice for trellising.

6. Lemon Cucumber – A charming and unique variety that produces round, lemon-yellow cucumbers about the size of a tennis ball. Don’t let the name fool you—these cucumbers are mild, crisp, and slightly sweet with no bitterness. Lemon Cucumbers are prolific producers and make a delightful addition to salads or pickling jars. Plus, they’re a favorite conversation piece in any garden!
