"I discovered these last year and they'll be a staple in my cucumber bed for many years to come! They are exactly as the website describes! These large, thin cucumbers that are tender and sweet, without a lot of seeds. They are big producers and they just keep coming!"
"Just like the Burpless, we started these indoors and they sprouted right away. Excellent germination rate. Looking forward to turning these into pickles in the near future."
"I was so excited to receive these cucumber seeds. I've never grown the Big Dill variety. I planted them indoors and will sow them after the ground warms up. Once planted they will take 60 days to harvest. I look forward to tasting them."
"The packaging includes easy to flollow directions. Since it is still too cold to plan the seeds, i will provide an update later. Hopefully, they will grow without any issues. Finding heirloom seeds thrilled me. Enough seeds were planted to produce a good crop."
"I love cucumbers and I really enjoyed and was super excited to plant my own. It was very easy. These are crisp cucumbers and very nice to slice them and add to ur salads and homemade pickles. One thing I learned is they need natural sunlight and the grow in size."
"I planted these about 2 weeks ago. No sprouts yet. But I've grown these before and they are great. Get to be a good size. Lots of seeds in the package."
"Planting indoors to help get these started. They take a sunny moist spot in garden. They are NON GMO. Supposed to take 8-10 days to germinate so I have a few more days before they should be coming up. Plan on planting against a fence."
"Definitely excited to see them grow. My dad helped me plant them he's always had a green thumb. Definitely going to try other seeds from the Ferry Morse"
"Hardy"
"I love there seeds and live plants. Purchased 6 live cuc plants and they produced over 90 English cucs."
