Directions
Sow the seeds directly in the garden in a sunny location with well-drained soil after all danger of frost is past and the ground is warm.

Growing Tips
Cucumbers need lots of sunshine and water. Keep weeds to a minimum with a straw or leaf mulch.
*These seeds are easy to sow, with a fun color coating that helps them germinate. However, the coating adds a few days to the germination time as compared to uncoated seeds.
