Quick Grow Facts

• Plant Type: Warm-season annual vegetable vine
• Cultivar: Garden Sweet Burpless slicing cucumber
• Scientific Name: Cucumis sativus
• Seed Form: Raw, unpelleted seed; sale form does not confirm chemical-treatment status
• Pack Sizes: 1 g and 10 g raw seed
• Seed Quantity: Approximately 35 seeds per 1 g under the current listing
• Hybrid Status: External cultivar sources call Garden Sweet Burpless an F1 hybrid, but the current local packet does not print F1; do not save seed expecting it to remain true to type
• Pretreatment: None; sow dry unless the delivered lot label says otherwise
• General Sowing Time: Sow after frost into warm soil, usually September–December in frost districts; use cooler local windows in subtropical heat
• Position: Full sun
• Method: Warm direct sow preferred; transplant only a young intact plug before roots bind
• Sow Depth: 5 mm under the current supplier and packet instruction; keep the shallow cover evenly moist
• Germination: 7–14 days at a 20–25°C seed-zone target; do not direct sow below about 18°C
• Growth Form: Vigorous vine; train on a sturdy 1.5–2 m trellis for straighter fruit. Routine pinching is unnecessary.
• Final Spacing: 25 cm between plants and 150 cm between trellised rows; widen ground-grown vines to at least 40 cm × 160–200 cm
• Pollination: Do not assume parthenocarpy. Provide bee access and grow Ashley or another ordinary cucumber nearby until the local pollenizer specification is confirmed.
• Harvest: Use the current packet's 65–70-day planning window and pick smooth deep-green fruit at about 25–30 cm

Why Grow Garden Sweet Burpless

• Long smooth fruit has thin skin and a small seed cavity.
• Mild crisp flesh suits fresh slices, salads and snacks.
• Trellising encourages straighter fruit and easier harvesting.
• Regular picking supports continued flowering and fruit set.

Garden Uses

Use young fruit for fresh slices, salads, sandwiches, chilled soups and quick refrigerator pickles.

Growing Notes

• The current page calls the cultivar gynoecious, but the packet does not confirm all-female flowers, parthenocarpy or an included pollenizer. Provide bees and a compatible source of male flowers.
• Keep moisture even from flowering through fruit fill; drought and temperature swings can reduce quality and increase bitterness.
• Water at soil level in the morning and trellis with good spacing to limit humid-canopy disease.
• Pick every one to two days in peak production before fruit becomes pale, swollen or seedy.

Seed safety: Raw seed is the unpelleted sale form, not proof of untreated seed. Do not eat seed or use it for feed, sprouts or microgreens; follow the delivered lot label.
