Organic Cucumber Seeds

Poona Khera cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is a rare heirloom variety native to India with a golden-brown skin and mild, sweet flavor. A fast grower, this is an excellent choice for home gardeners looking for a reliable, high-yielding cucumber for eating fresh or pickling.

Every seed purchase supports regenerative agriculture and restoration of wild spaces.

Start seeds indoors 3–4 weeks before the last frost, or directly in the garden once soil temperature reaches 70°F and all danger of frost has passed. Germination usually occurs within 7–10 days.

Plant in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter.

Cucumbers prefer full sun and require plenty of space to sprawl. Provide a trellis to conserve garden space and make harvesting easier. Water regularly, especially during flowering and fruiting stages.

For an early harvest, pick cucumbers when they are about 4–6 inches long and turn light yellow. As the cucumbers mature, their skin turns from yellow to brown and cracks, but the flesh remains sweet and juicy. Harvest regularly to promote a continuous harvest.
