AnnualThe Wisconsin SMR cucumber is a highly prized heirloom variety known for its exceptional flavor and versatility. Maturing in about 50-60 days, this cucumber produces medium to large, dark green fruits with a crisp texture, making it ideal for both fresh eating and pickling. The plants are vigorous and disease-resistant, thriving in a variety of growing conditions. Wisconsin SMR cucumbers have a uniform shape and excellent taste, with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.

I grew these last year, had a lot of trouble getting them started due to wet weather and pests that kept eating the seedlings. Hoping to get a better start and crop this year. What I did get made phenomenal pickles and relish.
Best success I have ever had with cucumbers. Still fell prey to cucumber beetle and squash vine borer. One down side. VERY sensitive to watering levels and does not tolerate any periods of drought.
I grew these from seeds indoors and transplanted to big pots on the patio. The plants grow big so be prepared with tall tomato cages or some kind of support close to 5-6 feet tall.
Harvested my first cucumber on June 13. I've been harvesting 3-4 cucumbers a day since late June, it's now mid-August. Except for the one super-hot week in July.
These plants got huge and produced a ton! Pickled a ton of cucumbers from just three plants. They did start to get bitter in the heat like most cucumbers do.

We have nice fertile soil in our greenhouse and able to control those pesty little flea beetles that can decimate eggplants foliage. I've been keeping them under control with DE and my eggplants are massive in size, about 3-4 feet tall with 1 foot lower leaves.
The eggplants fruit are developing nicely, nearly doubling in size daily. There are plenty of blossoms too. We're expecting that we won't need to grow more for a few years, we're planning on freeze drying most if them.
I purchased several packs of seeds from MiGardener during the semi annual sale, and they did not disappoint! Nearly 100 percent germination rate on all seeds I've planted. The only thing I haven't been able to germinate is lemon grass, which I'm learning may 1 take a very long time to germinate in general and 2 need bottom heat to help them sprout. Even without being on sale 2 bucks a seed pack for the amount they give (very generous compared to other companies, I might add) is a crazy good deal. If you have been on the fence, I encourage you to give MiGardener seeds a try! Thank you Luke and team, and Happy Gardening to all!
I'm not a seasoned gardener, so I don't necessarily know what's normal or not, but out of all the seeds I planted (got about a dozen different herbs and greens from MIgardener), the fenugreek was the quickest to sprout, had the highest germination rate, and the largest sprouting leaves. I'm pretty excited to watch them grow into beautiful plants.
Gardening for over 40 years. The Trifecta very impressed has all the elements I want in a fertilizer. Next year I will buy the largest amount.
Second squash to produce for me. Picked young and the skin is very thin/easily bruises. Roasted first batch and they were a delicious mild flavor! Very soft but the roasting gave a nice crust on them. 2nd batch mixed in a stir fry and it overcooked very easily and was mushy. I like how prolific this plant is and the mild taste. Just need to make sure not to overcook. Well definitely grow again.
