Growth Timeline

  • Growing Season: Most fruits/veggies have their peak growing season starting in spring and extending through fall. They need a runway of consecutive warm days and nights (from 60-90) to produce fruit.
  • First Harvest: Fruits/veggies take 2-3 months to bear fruit and/or reach ripeness.
  • Final Harvest: Fruits/veggies start to give out between late summer and early fall in most climates. Some plants, such as strawberries, will become dormant in winter before popping back into action in for spring, but most fruiting plants will need to be replaced after their season is over.

Growing Zone

Grows best in zones 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.

Most fruits and veggies prefer warmer temperatures and will be dormant or grow very slowly in colder climates. Refer to the following guidelines concerning extreme weather:

COLD CLIMATES

  • Fruits/veggies require nighttime temperatures to consistently be in the 50s or above to survive.

WARM CLIMATES:

  • Fruits/veggies are made for the heat and will do fine with temperatures above 90 degrees.

To find out what extreme temperatures your location experiences, check out the USDA zone for your region.

Support Trailing Plants: Unless you are growing smaller plants (jalapeño or micro-tomatoes) you might want to use stakes, trellises, or cages to support the plants as they grow. This will prevent them from sprawling on the ground. Train the vines to grow vertically for better air circulation and easier harvesting.

Green Finger Cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Green Finger') is a prolific, thin-skinned Persian-type cucumber prized for producing an extraordinary abundance of slender, crisp, nearly seedless fruits measuring 6–8" at peak harvest. With tender, smooth skin that requires no peeling, a satisfyingly crunchy texture, and a sweet, refreshing mild flavor, Green Finger delivers a fresh-eating experience that far surpasses anything found at a grocery store — delicious eaten straight from the vine, sliced into salads, or packed for lunchboxes straight from the garden.

Grown using 100% certified organic practices, Green Finger Cucumber arrives with a Professional Grade root system — well-developed, vigorous, and ready for immediate transplanting into warm garden beds, raised beds, or large containers with vertical trellis support. It thrives in full sun with consistent moisture and warm soil temperatures, rewarding attentive organic gardeners with a heavy, continuous harvest from midsummer through fall. Its strong disease resistance reduces common cucumber problems including powdery mildew and cucumber mosaic virus, making it one of the most reliable and productive varieties for the organic kitchen garden.

  • Prolific Nearly Seedless Harvest — Tender, smooth-skinned 6–8" fruits with minimal seeds and no bitterness are produced in extraordinary abundance — the more you pick, the more it produces throughout the season.
  • No Peeling Required — Thin, fully edible skin means zero prep time — simply rinse, slice, and serve for the freshest, most nutrient-complete cucumber eating experience straight from your garden.
  • Exceptional Disease Resistance — Built-in resistance to powdery mildew, cucumber mosaic virus, and angular leaf spot significantly reduces crop loss and the need for intervention in the organic garden.
  • Dual-Purpose: Eating & Pickling — Crisp, firm flesh and small seed cavity make Green Finger outstanding for both fresh eating and quick refrigerator pickling, delivering versatile kitchen utility all season long.
  • Certified Organic Heritage — Grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, delivering clean, chemical-free harvests rich in vitamins K and C, potassium, and hydrating antioxidants safe for the whole family.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun (6–8 hours daily) with consistent, deep watering — keep soil evenly moist and never allow it to dry completely between waterings. Transplant after last frost into warm soil (60°F minimum) enriched with compost, and provide a sturdy vertical trellis for best fruit production, air circulation, and easy harvest. Days to maturity: approximately 55–65 days from transplant.

We take great care to ensure our seedlings are healthy and well-established before they’re shipped. We pre-germinate the organic seeds and grow them up to 12 weeks before shipping them as mature plants ready for transplant. Seedlings typically arrive within 1-4 days.
