They are a snacking cucumber first and foremost, and the plants keep setting fruit for weeks if you keep picking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow seeds about 15 to 20mm deep, direct or in punnets, once the soil is warm and above 20°C. Germination takes 5 to 10 days. Space plants 40 to 50cm apart. A trellis keeps the fruit clean and straight and saves a good deal of room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to Sow - Australian Climate Zones\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCool \u0026amp; Mountain:\u003c\/strong\u003e November to December\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperate:\u003c\/strong\u003e September to January\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubtropical:\u003c\/strong\u003e August to February\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTropical:\u003c\/strong\u003e April to August (dry season)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArid \u0026amp; Semi-arid:\u003c\/strong\u003e September to December\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun in rich, free draining soil. Water deeply and regularly at soil level, since uneven moisture makes for bitter fruit and wet foliage invites powdery mildew.

Cut with a short stem rather than pulling. Check the vines every day or two in warm weather, as an overlooked cucumber swells fast and slows the whole plant down.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Happy Valley Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51178872242488,"sku":"ORVA033","price":3.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/5416\/2522\/files\/cucumber-mini-muncher-seeds-organic-4259047.jpg?v=1785234801","url":"https:\/\/www.happyvalleyseeds.com.au\/products\/cucumber-mini-muncher-seeds-organic","provider":"Happy Valley Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
