Cucumber 'Quick Snack'
Who doesn’t love miniatures? ‘Quick Snack’ is a burpless snack cucumber intended for outdoor patio or even indoor growing! It can work in slightly lower light (6+ hours) and has the handy feature of being easy to move around as needed. Place near your sunniest indoor window or outdoors on the covered patio.
Plant in a 10-12” diameter container (If you can, with a small trellis to aid in growth). Harvest fruit when they reach 1” in diameter for best flavor. I LOVED this addition to my front porch this past grow season, and I know you will too! Kids love them too!
Height & Spread: ~20”
A Note from the Grower
There’s nothing quite like a fresh slice of cucumber to signify summer is on the way. Cucumbers are a staple in the garden. As such, I have them here in several forms. Not everyone has space for a large cucumber vine, so I worked to include cucumbers that work for ANY SPACE. In my catalog, you’ll find burpless varieties (cucumbers without bitter skins) that can grow trellised in the garden, trellised in a container, or by leaving the trellis altogether. If you have care questions, head over to the Plant Guide.
Mini vegetable varieties are not heavy producers, but they allow you a taste of a little something-something without the effort of a full size garden. Can you imagine having a miniature vegetable garden besides those herbs on the patio, porch or deck? Mini veggies are just too fun to resist!
