Vegetable plant

Very healthy and viable

From Kim | July 07, 2023


Very Healthy Plant

I've purchased from GrowJoy for the last several years and have never been disappointed. Always receive large, healthy, well packaged plants.

From Lori | June 02, 2023


Half and half

One plant growing well the other side hanging on but not dead yet! Hoping for revival !

From Mary Lou | May 30, 2023


Love my cukes

Planted all my cukes and they are thriving. Highly recommend and will buy again next year

From Ava | May 17, 2023


Its atill early

They arrived in great shape & pkgd well. There was one tall 6-8” plant & one tiny 2” seedling per container. I’ve transplanted them into my bucket garden & they are growing. They’re still young & but in only 2 wks time they’ve doubled in size. Time will tell how productive they will be but so far all signs point toward satisfaction.

From Michael | May 27, 2022


AWESOME

3 Tomatoe cages / 2 plants per ...120 CUCUMBERS!

Fanfare Cucumber Plants

The plants were shipped from a GrowJoy facility in North Carolina. The plants were about 2 inches tall when they arrived and looked like they had just sprouted within a week or two. Though small, the plants were healthy and a week later are starting to add additional leaves.

From anonymous | March 27, 2022


Outstanding

I purchased this plant late-ish in the season after a different cucumber plant (purchased elsewhere) did not make it. It took off immediately, and I had cucumbers within three weeks. It is still thriving, and I am excited for all the salads and pickles in my future! Will be buying this again next year.

From Susan | August 08, 2021

All of the plants I ordered

All of the plants that I ordered from GrowJoy arrived in great shape and all are thriving exceptionally well in my raised bed gardens. I am very happy with the plants and the service. Thank you so much GrowJoy.

First Pick

I just picked my 1st cucumber off the plant at lunch time today. Can't wait to have it for dinner. And there is another one that will be ready to harvest soon too!

From Patti | July 13, 2020


Nice Cukes

I have 3 of these in pots on my deck and they are thriving. Put up trellises for them to climb. So far have eaten 3 cukes and they are delicious. My only concern is that they were supposed to be disease resistent but have already had some powdery mildew which I have sprayed for and removed the infected leaves.

From Maggie | July 03, 2020


Great plants!

The plants were in awesome shape and are growing quickly! I will choose this company every time!!

From Melissa | May 25, 2020


Great quality plant

This plant arrived in excellent condition and is doing great while I wait for the weather to improve enough to place in the garden. The shipping package protected each plant perfectly during shipping . Excited to see how this does once in the garden.

From anonymous | May 09, 2020


Perfect

My plants came packaged perfect and they are still thriving 2 weeks later

Fanfare Cucumbers

Every since I planted these they seemed to change the way they look every day. I already see some flowering on the plant, I am anxiously awaiting to see the cucumbers! This is my first time growing this variety.

From Kenyatta | April 21, 2020


Fabulous!

I received my plants in great/awesome condition! I was initially concerned with the packaging because I thought the plants were crushed, only to find out y'all had a nifty sideways planter in it. Lol. They are in 6lb planters on my deck and they are thriving and in pristine shape! I will certainly purchase from y'all again. It's my first time ever, gardening and I'm having a blast! Thanks you are highly recommended!

From anonymous | June 17, 2019


ONLY THE BEST

BEST cucumber ever. We've gotten over 50 cukes from one plant during a season. And we never plant just one...
