Cucumber 'Muncher'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Muncher is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Muncher tends to grow best in a soil ph of between 5.5 and 6.8 meaning it does best in weakly acidic soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.47 inches (1.2 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Muncher about 14 days after your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Muncher is a tender plant.

Harvest at 4-6 inches for pickling. For fresh eating, let them grow to their full 6-8 inches (3-inches wide) before picking.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by late spring.

Muncher is a marketing and folk history name. This also has a scientific varietal name, WI 5207. The WI is for Wisconsin because that is where it was developed. :)
