What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Enjoy smooth, refreshing cucumbers with Muncher Cucumber Seeds, a beloved burpless heirloom variety known for its mild flavor, tender skin, and low acidity. Harvest young at 4–6 inches for crisp snacking cucumbers, or let them mature to 8–9 inches for classic slicing use—all with the same sweet, non-bitter taste.

This open-pollinated heirloom thrives in a wide range of gardens and climates. The compact yet vigorous vines produce heavy yields of spineless, uniform cucumbers that are easy to harvest and ideal for both beginners and seasoned gardeners. Muncher adapts beautifully to raised beds, patio containers, or traditional garden plots, offering dependable performance and high productivity all season long.

Crisp, Mild, and Easy to Grow

  • Burpless and Low-Acid: Smooth, tender cucumbers with refreshing flavor and no bitterness—gentle on the stomach and ideal for fresh eating or pickling.
  • Multi-Stage Harvest Options: Pick small at 4–6" for crunchy mini cucumbers or allow to mature to 8–9" for full-size slicers.
  • High-Yield Vines: Compact yet vigorous plants deliver abundant, consistent harvests in both containers and garden beds.
  • Easy to Grow from Seed: Fast-growing heirloom variety matures in about 60 days and thrives across USDA Zones 3–11.

How to Grow

  • Planting Time: Sow seeds outdoors in full sun after the last frost.
