  • The name says it all! Baby is a gourmet delight, ready in just over a month to harvest as mini cukes, yet also delicious when grown to full size. Now you don't have to choose between a full-size and a baby variety -- you can have both in one!
  • This charming cucumber is ready to harvest at just 3 inches. The baby cukes are tender and succulent, with glossy dark green skin and a good solids-to-juice ratio. Slice them for canapes or pop them into your mouth whole. They're the perfect little bite!
  • You can also extend your harvest, continuing to grow Baby past the baby stage & to its full size of about 6 to 6½ inches & 10 to 11 ounces. It loses none of its flavor or texture as it matures. Baby cucumber is as easy to sow & grow as any other variety.
  • Direct-sow the seeds ¾-inch deep into the soil as soon as it can be worked in spring, spacing (or thinning) the seedlings 6 inches apart. This vining plant will reach up to 6½ feet tall, so stake it or grow on a fence or trellis.
  • New little cukes will be dangling from the stems before you know it! Baby is very adaptable to unseasonably cold or warm climates, and very easy to grow. It needs no pruning, and its fruit is a fat-free source of potassium and vitamin C.

Product Description


About Us

One of America's oldest and largest mail-order seed and plant companies, the Geo. W. Park Seed Company, was founded in 1868 by 15-year-old George W. Park in Libonia, Pennsylvania. Today our gardeners number in the millions, yet we still adhere to Mr. Park's original motto. We may be connecting online through social media rather than handwritten letters, but the spirit and the result is the same: bringing the joys of gardening to as many people as possible.

Know Before You Grow Cucumbers

You'll find new meaning in the term "cool as a cucumber" when you discover the delights of this delicious, easy-to-grow vegetable. Slice 'em, dice 'em, pickle 'em, or pull 'em straight off the vine and enjoy their unmistakable and delicious flavor right there. They can be grown on hills, in rows, on trellises, or in containers, so there's a variety just perfect for you, no matter where you live or how large or small your gardening space.

Choosing a Cucumber Variety

When you choose which cucumbers to grow, you'll want to consider length, thickness, use, and the amount of space required for the plant. They come in a wide variety of sizes, from tiny gherkin-appropriate ones to long, delicious slicers. The pickling types are usually smaller, and some of the slicers are burpless (less bitter and contain less burp-causing compounds).

Starting Cucumber Seeds

Cucumbers are best direct sown outdoors 1 to 2 weeks after all danger of frost has passed in the spring and once the soil has warmed—it needs to be at least 60 degrees F. They can be sown indoors (at a temperature of 70 degrees F) 4 to 6 weeks before planting out, but direct sowing is recommended.

Sow the seeds at a depth of 4 times the size of the seed, siting them in full sun in light, rich, well-drained soil.

Special Considerations

Cucumber vines produce both male (staminate) and female (pistillate) flowers. The first to arrive are male and will drop from the vine without bearing fruit. The ones to follow will be both male and female, allowing for pollination. So don't become discouraged when the first flowers you see don't produce fruit. There are also cucumbers available that bear only female flowers (gynoecious).

Growing Tips

If you want to start your seeds indoors, use peat pots or pellets—something that can be planted as-is, thus minimizing root disturbance. Transplanting shouldn't be done until all danger of frost has passed.

Growing Tips

Cucumbers need long, warm, sunny days and mild nights in order to be productive. Keep well watered and fed throughout the growing season.

Growing Tips

Mulches, including black plastic varieties, can be useful in conserving moisture, preventing the soil from becoming compacted, and maintaining the overall help of the garden and plant.

Growing Tips

Harvest your cucumbers depending on their use, and therefore their size. They can over mature (and become bitter) rather quickly since they develop so rapidly after pollination, so check your crop frequently in order to pick them at their peak quality. Cut the stems about one-fourth inch above the fruit.
