Muncher Cucumber is a frost tender climbing annual that grows to harvest in two months with cucumbers that can reach 10". The heavy yields of spineless cucumbers are medium-sized with a good crisp and no bitterness. They can be used for pickles if harvest at 4" or eaten fresh. Best grown in full sun and rich, moist, acidic well-drained soils. Intolerant of frost, sow after soil is over 70F. Excellent disease resistance.
