Description

'Tasty Green' cucumber seeds offer a crisp, burpless, and non-bitter cucumber with tender, thin skin and tiny seeds.

The disease-resistant plant boasts excellent productivity, with cucumbers best harvested at or before 9″ in length. 'Tasty Green' is a versatile addition to your garden, perfect for fresh snacking, salads, and more.
