Crisp, juicy and pleasantly mild, the fruits are free from bitterness and are particularly good for gardeners looking for a sweet, easy-eating cucumber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thin, tender skin means fruits can be eaten without peeling, while the crisp flesh is excellent sliced into salads and sandwiches, eaten straight from the garden or served with dips. Muncher is also suitable for pickling, particularly when the fruits are harvested young and small.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term “burpless” is traditionally used for mild cucumber varieties with low bitterness and tender skin. Muncher combines these eating qualities with good garden performance and useful resistance to cucumber mosaic virus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are vigorous and productive through warm weather and can be allowed to ramble along the ground or trained vertically onto a trellis. Trellising improves airflow, saves space and helps produce clean, straight fruits that are easy to harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 22 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Spring to autumn\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Spring to summer\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Spring after frost to early summer\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring after the last frost, or start earlier under protection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow directly into warm soil approximately 10–20 mm deep, or raise in pots and transplant once conditions have warmed.
