"This package has 50 seeds and will make plenty of cucumbers for the family with extras to gift to neighbors and friends. These will make the perfect size cucumbers for any summer dish you make. The seeds stored easily until time to plant with easy to follow instructions. I started mine out in a seedling container and I will transfer them to the garden after they are a larger size plant. ."
