Description
Cucumber seeds are small, flat, and oval-shaped with pointed ends. They have a light cream or off-white to subtle tan color. These seeds are relatively lightweight. Mature cucumber seeds are typically found within the fruit’s flesh and can be harvested by removing the pulp and separating the seeds.
Harvesting:
To collect cucumber seeds, you need to let the cucumber fully mature on the vine, typically until it turns pale yellow or even a bit orange. Once ripe, you can cut open the cucumber and the seeds will be found within the pulp.
Germination:
Cucumber seeds are relatively easy to germinate, and they typically sprout within 7-10 days when kept consistently damp but not soggy.
