About Burpee Straight Eight Slicing Cucumber Seeds 200 seeds
Overall Feedback:
93% positive
79% liked the built-in disease resistance, although 21% still experienced issues
In the Southern CA climate, our plants are growing very well.
My cucumber seeds were ruined because they were tossed in with an assortment of items.
90% loved the exceptional flavor and texture
The first vegetable seedling I pulled off the vine had a glorious taste and better color and texture than anything found at a local grocery mart.
The cucumber is very flavorful and not bitter at all.
93% appreciated the vigorous plant growth
I planted 24 seeds on April 1st and by the end of the week, I had 24 sprouts at least an inch tall. Now, less than 60 days later, I enjoyed the first couple of cucumbers of the spring. This indicates that the plant growth rate is good.
I received the seeds on March 19th and after soaking 4 seeds in water for a little under 48 hours, I saw small points of a sprout showing on all 4 seeds.
After sprinkling the seeds on top of the soil, all of them sprouted within a week, indicating a rapid growth rate.
After five weeks, my plants have grown to a certain size.
93% praised for its high germination rate, while 7% experienced a lower rate
I did not expect every single seed to germinate but to my surprise, they did. This indicates that the seed germination rate is good.
I have personally seen quick germination of the seeds within 8 days of starting the process and have used them to see the results.
I tried dozens of seeds but none of them germinated.
81% praised for its adaptability to different soils
I heard that cucumbers have a sensitive root system and was worried that if some of them failed, I would blame myself due to transplanting twice, small container, and inconsistent moisture level when they were still young. However, my plants are thriving in spite of my mistakes.
The first vegetable plant I pulled off the vine was glorious in taste, color and texture, surpassing anything found at a local grocery mart.
76% loved the diverse selection of varieties
I planted 4 different varieties of cucumbers this year and STRAIGHT 8 was my favorite as it produced quickly and continues to produce good size and tasty cucumbers.
The cucumber variety I tried has a small seed center, smaller than most varieties.
The cucumber and tomato salad was good and crunchy after using the seeds.
I was looking for a specific type of cucumber with a milder flavor and smoother skin, and found this particular variety to be a good fit. It's a bush type and stays in a smaller area, which is an added benefit.
