"These seeds' germination was very quick. I was impressed. . plants only took 4 weeks to reach about 6 inches in height. So far, the cucumbers are top quality in freshness and taste. Each plant has produced 6 each so far. The package arrived in tact, and the description on the package gave specific instructions on how and when to plant. Will buy this brand each and every year. I'm in zone 5 for reference. The color of the cucumbers is bright and a deep green."
"The cucumber seeds come well packaged, remaining fresh and viable until ready to plant. The packaging includes clear instructions and helpful tips, making it easy for both novice and experienced gardeners to get started. The seeds boast an impressive germination rate and sprouted within a week. They thrive in well drained soil with plenty of sunlight."
"Welp…. It started out well until these little rascals showed up and tore up what we planted. 😜 The flavor must have been nice for this cutie and their family to go after them, so that contributes to my positive rating. Living in Colorado, I feel like we had the proper growing conditions for these seeds to flourish, but my little raccoon buddy had different plans. At least our furry friends enjoyed some nice snacking, right?"
"My Ferry-Morse cucumber seeds are growing well, the seeds take a while until you get some to harvest so I don’t have any ready yet but I think I will soon!"
"When I first got the Ferry-Morse Cucumber Poinsett 76 Seeds I thought there was no way possible they would produce cucumbers with an 8. 5†length and a 2. 5†width. Boy was I wrong, these grow like crazy and are just as advertised."
"I was excited to receive the Ferry-Morse Cucumber seeds free for my honest review. These seeds were so easy to start growing! I can't wait to see if I can actually get some cucumbers to harvest. It will be fun picking them along with my other vegetables I have planted. My family loves to eat cucumbers as a snack or on salads. I'm sure the flavor is going to be so amazing!"
"Just planted these will see if I get a harvest this year. Received them a little late so may not work. But will definitely have to try it again next year."
"In our family we love to grow cucumbers in the summer, we eat them like candy, I’m sure these will taste so delicious and will be easy to grow. We have the perfect sunny spot for them, hopefully we can a good amount! Can’t wait to eat them! These seeds are always easy to work with!"
"I can’t believe how easy these are to grow. I had to start them in a pot because the birds around my home like to pick at my garden. They already look healthy and I can’t wait to see the cucumbers come in! I’ll have to replant them so I can have them grow along my trellis. I think anyone who has never grown vegetables. This would be a good starter to learn. It’s started growing within two to three days. They grow fast too!"
"I love this brand of seeds! They always go full term to fruit & produce the best produce. Super high quality. I highly recommend buying this product for your garden!!"
