McKenzie Seeds Muncher Cucumber Seeds

Muncher is specifically bred to be a non-bitter variety. Unlike some cucumbers that develop a bitter taste due to stress or heat, this variety remains sweet and tender throughout the season, provided they receive consistent moisture.

They are excellent for both. While they are a favorite for fresh slicing and snacking, their crisp texture makes them a reliable choice for quick refrigerator pickles as well.

Because Muncher cucumbers grow on vines, they require space to spread. You can let them sprawl across the ground in a garden bed or train them to climb a trellis, which saves space and keeps the fruit cleaner.

You can expect to start harvesting your cucumbers approximately 65 days after planting. For the best yield, harvest the fruit regularly once they reach the desired size to encourage the plant to keep producing.

These seeds are ideal for direct sowing. Wait until the soil has warmed up in the spring and all danger of frost has passed before planting them directly into your garden bed.

Actually, the opposite is true. These plants are pollinator-friendly and designed to attract bees and other beneficial insects, which helps support a healthy, balanced ecosystem in your garden.
