Overview
Green Light F1 is a compact mini snacking cucumber from Known-You Seeds and a 2020 All-America Selections national winner. Its parthenocarpic vines set fruit with no pollinator, so you get short, seedless, thin-skinned cucumbers of roughly 3.5 to 5 inches even when bees are scarce. The flavor is sweet and crisp with no bitterness, and there is no need to peel. Vines reach about 80 inches and climb a trellis well, yet the habit stays tidy enough for large containers and small raised beds. Expect around 40 fruits per plant; pick every day or two once fruiting starts so the cucumbers stay small and the plant keeps setting. Water evenly while fruit is developing.
