EXCLUSIVE - This early bearing pickling or “Kirby” cucumber is a kitchen garden dynamo that produces an extended harvest of dark green, crispy, curved fruits with the traditional knobby “pickle” skin. Hybrid Bohemia is great tasting and high yielding. Vines will keep you well supplied for putting up many jars of your favorite treats like kosher dills, bread-and-butter slices, relish and traditional sweet pickles. Bohemia is also a fine crunchy, fresh-eating cucumber right from the vine. Plants are resistant to mosaic viruses and downy mildew. Monoecious.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
Start Seeds Outdoors
Plant heat loving cucumbers only when weather is warm and settled and night temperatures stay above 50°F (10°C). Amend soil well with aged manure or compost. Sow groups of 2 to 3 seeds 1 1/2 feet apart and 1 inch deep with 3 feet between rows.
Thin to 1 seedling per group. Or make slightly mounded hills 5 feet apart, sowing 5 or 6 seeds in each hill. Thin to the 3 strongest plants.
Growing Notes
Protect seedlings from marauding birds with plastic berry baskets, removing before plants get crowded. Shallow rooted cucumbers need ample and consistent moisture. Avoid overly wet or dry periods for good quality fruit. Growing cucumber vines up vertical supports gives you long straight fruits, saves garden space and makes them easy to harvest.
Harvest and Use
Cut rather than pull fruits from vines when 3 to 4 inches long. Harvest often: every few days for longest fruit production and so cucumbers don’t get too big on the vine. Try to put up pickles very soon after harvesting for best results. Enjoy some Bohemia cucumbers fresh picked from the garden, sliced up with tomatoes and chopped dill or chives with olive oil and a pinch of salt.

Very productive, beautiful color and excellent sweet flavor. We had an unusually warm summer (USDA5b) but they produced and colored up so early that I'm sure they would have done really well in a typical season. Will definitely plant again. (Only reservation- couldn't find the information regarding their hybrid/open- pollinated status so am still wondering??)
These zinnias are so beautiful, and they seem to change color with the temperature. I've already ordered more seeds to be sure I have them for next year. They enhance any plant and flower they are planted with.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Irene. Your zinnias are beautiful!
These zinnias were a wonderful addition to my container garden! The bright, large flowers are incredibly eye-catching, while the stems are sturdy and upright. Every day, butterflies and bumblebees stop by to check them out, which is a joy to watch and a stress relief. I put six plants together in a pot and they completely filled it in creating a gorgeous, full display. Also, they were very easy to germinate and care for, which made growing them a breeze. I will definitely be growing these again and highly recommend these seeds to anyone looking for beautiful, easy-to-grow flowers!
Magnificent salvia, very prolific with bush like appearance. The color is ethereal. I found it very easy to grow from seed. Highly recommend! And I should add I love all things salvia.
Hi Sher, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you love the Coral Nymph Salvia and found it easy to grow. The color is so sweet. Happy gardening!
All my seeds sprouted and I have lettuce starts in Jiffy Pods on my balcony waiting to go to the community garden.
the second pack took off....I think we have a zucchini skyscraper....wonderful flavor....great producer..our favorite is zucchini and potatoes scalped with a blend of different cheeses
I grew these in zone 10b on a makeshift fence with a trellis net on it in my driveway. I grew these in a small raised bed on cement! The plants grew 10-12 feet before I stopped them. I planted them in April and harvested them at the end of August. The luffa were huge! The longest one was almost 18 inches long! I also got tons of seeds that I will store. I ate a couple of young luffas as well. Raw, they tasted like a cucumber/zucchini mix. Cooked, they had a broccoli taste with a very soft texture. Delicious! I also peeled the yellowing and the green luffa. The yellow luffa contained black seeds. The green luffa contained white seeds, which I assume are not viable. This was such a great learning experience as a first-timer growing luffa. Get them!
All the tomatoes from this pack germinated to the point where I actually had a tomato ministry on my neighborhood! The plants were so healthy I had to farm a majority out for adoption by my neighbors and friends. There were enough to donate to our local Master Gardener demonstration garden. Everyone is enjoying the bounty from these seeds.
Delicious cucumber! Somehow it grew direct seeded in wet Seattle spring. Harvested about a cucumber a day since it started producing. Will grow it again and again!
I planted these by scatter spreading into a top soil mixed with my own worm compost. Sprinkled moist coconut coir over them. Added a wee bit of compost tea to initial waterings...IN TWO DAYS, THE SEEDS STARTED GERMINATING! I have almost inch shoots now, and it's only been 6 days!
OMGOSH I think Hercules weighs 1.5 lbs but he hasn't started to blush yet. I started your combo heirloom tomato seeds Feb. 28, 2026. I'd had such success with your tomato seeds in the Bay area I had to try here in Bremerton Here in the PNW we're in the middle of tomato season. The striped marvels and zebras are fine but boy howdy my Brandywine are the show stoppers. I'll tag you on Instagram with a photo soon Thank you for such great results!
100% germination and heavy production. On our fourth harvest and so happy to share the bounty with neighbors. So slender and tender with lots of flesh and little bean. My preference.!
Hi Rowena, thank you for sharing. The color of your zinnias is gorgeous! Sorry to hear the germination rate was low, though; we appreciate your feedback. Please reach out to us directly at customerservice@reneesgarden.com if we can be of further assistance.
Looking forward to having these in my Fall Garden. All the seeds planted germinated within a few days. I am satisfied with this product and look forward to next planting season to purchase more seeds.
