Varieties Included in the Cucumber Seed Collection:

  • Armenian Pale Green Cucumber: A long, ribbed, burpless cucumber with a melon-like aroma and sweet, succulent flavor. Thin skin requires no peeling and is easy to digest.
  • Beit Alpha Cucumber: A prolific, reliable slicer with smooth, thin green skin. Best harvested around 8 inches for tender, mild flavor and uniform shape.
  • Lemon Cucumber: A distinctive round, lemon-yellow cucumber with a sweet, mild taste. Highly productive and more tolerant of cooler weather than many varieties.
  • National Pickling Cucumber: A classic pickling cucumber with thin skin that absorbs brine and flavor exceptionally well. Harvest small for gherkins or larger for traditional pickles.
  • Spacemaster Cucumber: Ideal for patios and compact gardens. Short 2–3 foot vines produce generous yields of crisp, dark green fruits perfect for fresh eating.

Why Customers Love the Cucumber Seed Collection:

  • Includes five distinct cucumbers for slicing, pickling, and snacking
  • Offers both compact and vining varieties for flexible garden planning
  • Suitable for raised beds, containers, and traditional garden plots
  • Provides consistent, flavorful harvests throughout the season

How to Grow:
Plant seeds in full sun after the danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed. Provide rich, well-drained soil and consistent moisture for optimal production. Vining types benefit from trellising, while compact varieties like Spacemaster excel in containers. Harvest frequently to encourage ongoing fruit development. For pickling cucumbers, pick when small and firm; for slicers, harvest when fruits reach their recommended size.

Warm Weather Crop

Cucumbers thrive in warm weather, so they are typically planted in the spring after the last frost date in your area.

If you choose to start seeds indoors, it's best to start them about 3-4 weeks before the last frost date in your area.

When planting cucumber seeds in the garden, choose a site that receives full sun and has well-draining soil.

Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and 6 inches apart in rows that are spaced about 3 feet apart. You can also plant them in hills, which are mounds of soil that are about 12 inches in diameter and 3-4 feet apart.

Plant 3-4 seeds per hill and thin to the strongest seedling once they have germinated. To help with germination, you can soak cucumber seeds in water for a few hours before planting. Provide support for the vines as they grow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.

You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

In what zones can I grow your seeds?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
