About Quick Snack Cucumber Seeds
Cucumis sativus (hybrid)
Quick Snack' is a parthenocarpic cucumber meaning that it will set fruit without a pollinator. If grown indoors, fruit will be seedless. If grown outdoors next to other cucumbers with male flowers, seeds are likely to develop. Fruits are best when picked 1.5"-2.5" long and 1" wide.

Coverage & Planting Details
| Coverage | This packet sows up to 5 plants. |
|---|---|
| Row Spacing | Not applicable |
| Seed Depth | 1/2" |
| Seed Spacing | A group of 2 seeds per one 6"-8" pot |
| Thinning | When 3 leaves thin to 1 plant per pot |
| Germination | 5-10 days |
| Start Indoors | Sow directly into 6"-8" pots anytime from early spring to early autumn. |
| Direct Sow | NOT RECOMMENDED. This variety is best grown indoors in 6"-8" pots. However, it can be planted outside and will still yield fruits. If sown outside, 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 60°F, ideally 70°-90°F. |
| Special Sowing | Trellising cucumbers helps them grow straighter, makes them easier to see when harvesting, and provides good air circulation, which helps prevent mildew. Tie the main stem to the trellis to guide the plant. If preferred, cucumbers can also be grown on mounds. Mounds should be 4' apart with 6 seeds each, thinning to 3 plants per mound. |
| Special Care | When grown indoors, sow a group of 2 seeds per one 6"-8" pot. When seedlings have 3 leaves, thin to 1 plant per pot. Plants will require a small trellis in the pot to keep the plants climbing upright. When the plant reaches the top of the trellis, pinch the vine and allow the plant to spread width wise. Pinching will help the plant put energy into producing more fruits. |
| Growing & Harvesting | Pick, and pick some more! Overly mature cucumbers on the vine will slow production of new cucumbers. Cut the stem rather than pulling at the fruit, as stems are fragile |

- Joann C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars11/5/26Easy peasy
I have these guys on a windowsill and they are growing beautifully! I get 4 cucumbers every other day between two plants. They're delicious, require very little work and they're pretty too. Will be buying more.

- Yolanda M. J.Verified BuyerRated 2 out of 5 stars11/4/26Not totally happy with results
I’m a little disappointed with the results so far. I sowed four seeds and was pleasantly surprised when all four germinated. However, despite such a promising start, I’ve only managed to grow one snack-sized cucumber from one of the two plants I initially grew indoors under a grow light. Unfortunately, I’m not sure where things have gone wrong. One of the indoor plants has since died without producing any fruit. I still have two plants growing outdoors: one has several small cucumbers that don’t seem to be getting any bigger, while the other has produced just a few, which also appear to have stopped growing. All four seeds were sown on 9/3/2026, and I’m gardening in Zone 8a. I’d really appreciate any advice or insight into what might have caused these issues and, more importantly, what I can do differently to improve my results and hopefully enjoy a better harvest next time.
