Thriving despite the heat!

Spotted lantern fly killed my earlier cucumber plants. GrowJoy still had some, so I took a chance getting some new plants. The plants arrived amazingly well packaged, healthy green and thriving. I couldn't be more pleased with my plants!! Will buy more plants next Spring.

Homemade pickles cucumber

Order arrived really well packaged. I received two cucumber plants. One arrived mostly wilted but I planted it anyway. The other looked healthy upon arrival. Planted both- the wilted one never recovered and the one that looked healthy died within a day. The soil was extremely soggy when they arrived. I ordered two other plants that are doing really well, just no luck with the cucumbers. I would have reached out to customer service, but this all occurred a day after I reached out over a damaged plant in the package and it didn’t seem worth it to me. However, I did have a really great experience with the customer service team and I’m sure they would have made things right if I reached out. 1 star for cucumber plants, 5 stars for customer service.

From Sandra | August 25, 2023


Best plants I have ever ordered

Ordered cucumber plants and they were beautiful strong plants that arrived and now they are thriving - honestly these far surpass other places I've ordered plants from in terms of quality as well as the way they are shipped.

From Rosanne | August 11, 2023


Came a little small

these babies came a little smaller than i had hoped. They seem to be doing ok in the garden for now. Prayerfully they will thrive!

From Debra | May 24, 2023


Love these cukes!

Arrived in good shape and is producing well! Not just for pickling-we like to peel and slice and eat raw, in salads.

Amazing cucumbers!

These cucumbers are so delicious and easy to grow!! I purchased a few of them in 2020 and was amazed at how quickly they grew and how many cucumbers I got from them, even when they were planted in containers instead of in the ground. The bees really loved the flowers on them too! Can't wait to see how well they do this year!

From Jessica | June 05, 2022

Vegetable plants

I ordered cucumber squash and tomato plants they came in excellent condition. I love how they package them. They have been in the garden now for about 10 days and are doing great! Thank you Growjoy😃

From Marsha | May 02, 2022


Best cucumbers!!

I bought 2 plants and was hoping to make my own pickles but these cucumbers are so crunchy and delicious right off the vine that none have made it to pickling! Also, I am trellising these plants on a balcony in the middle of the city and they are thriving. Will definitely buy these every spring!

From anonymous | August 14, 2021


Success!

I bought these cucumbers for my daughter who wanted to make her own pickles. They grew quickly and she now has numerous small cucumbers! These were perfect for a first time grower!

From Carol | July 16, 2021

From anonymous | May 29, 2019


Trending

Finding that utilizing pre -started plants can be an amazing boost to northern gardeners . our short growing seasons can be boosted along with already started plants as much as two months . A wet spring can really set you back when only using seeds to grow your garden . Growjoy , by far is the top producer of growing plants ready to grow.

From Raymond | May 24, 2019


Great so far

Plant arrived in the proper time for planting and was in great condition. It continues to thrive while waiting to be planted

From Kenneth | May 22, 2019


Healthy looking plant arrived in great shape

Growjoy's packaging, selection and prices have made me a repeat customer for a few years now. This is my first year trying their veggie plants, as well as flowers. If they grow as well as the flowers have I'll be very happy.

Pickle Cucumbers

Great plant - it's doing very nicely.

From Edward | May 06, 2019


Great plants poor communicators

The plants themselves are beautiful and arrived in a timely fashion. I have a second shipment (ordered the day after this one arrived) that is listed as processed, but there's no further information being offered. I've contacted them and it's been met with crickets.

From Mary | May 04, 2019

Cucumber pickle plants

We tried Homemade Pickles Cucumber, but the plants died. Could not take the Arizona heat (110+ ) for weeks. Probably will reorder when it cools off a bit.

Richard, sorry to hear about the heat.  Hope it cool down that you can try it again. GrowJoy

Homemade Pickles Cucumber

Cucumbers aren't always easy to transplant - they don't really like their roots disturbed. These plants were very healthy and transplanted with ease. Highly recommend!

From Britney | May 05, 2017


Homemade Pickles Cucumbers

Purchased the Pickles and Tendergreen cukes among others. As always, GrowJoy service and delivery was excellent. Packaging is amazing. Right now, a week in the ground, the plants are trying hard to establish themselves. Still seem a bit shocked. But I have faith they will make it!

From Chris | April 13, 2017

Great homemade pickles plant and shipped fast

Received plant in great condition and packaged well. It is growing great.

From Julie | June 07, 2015


Excellent Customer Service

I purchased several different vegetable plants, including cucumbers, kohlrabi, lettuce and celery. All but the cucumbers arrived large and healthy. Cucumbers were large and many seedlings in a pot, but heads on all 4 were broken off or bent. The good news I planted them anyway and 3 out of the 4 are doing well. I am particularly impressed with the celery and kohlrabi. I have tried both from seed before with little results, but these plants look great and are doing well. I have great hopes. I would definitely order from GrowJoy again.

From DK | June 01, 2015


Beautiful plants!

When we opened the box from GrowJoy, we were delighted to find healthy, strong, beautiful cucumber plants ready for transfer to our garden containers. Very impressed!

From Myrna | May 22, 2015


Homemade Pickles Cucumber Plant

I was amazed at how well the plants were packaged and how good they looked when they arrived! They've only been in my garden for about a week now, but they are thriving. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute ordering from GrowJoy again!

From Brenda | May 08, 2015


very happy with homemade pickles cucumber

Ordering was simple. Hit a little snag with getting a confirmation number but all went well. the plants came very nicely packaged. Plants were green, solid was wet, and so far they're still alive. Hopefully I did everything right. these look like healthy plants and I can't wait to harvest,.

From Patrick | April 16, 2015


Homemade Pickles Cucumber Plant

Plants arrived in excellent condition & started to grow immediately after planting. Cucumbers are starting to grow already!!!

From Ramona | July 03, 2014


homemade pickles cucumbers

The plants arrived in a plastic container that held the root ball in the bottom and plenty of room in the top for the vegetation. The plants were very healthy and the instructions said just give them a drink of water. I was confused at first because there were only 5 cups of plants, I bought 10! When actually, each cup had at least 2 plants, two of them had 3!! I would not hesitate to buy again!!

From Casey | June 08, 2014


New Variety Cukes

We make a lot of pickles and hope we have a good harvest from these Homemade Pickles!

From anonymous | June 05, 2014


Plants ordered

I made the order a month ago, and due to the fact the ideal season wasn't at that time I was told they would be shipped this month. I thought that was great for both of us. Responsible sellers who care about both customer satisfaction as well as the plants they sell. So I received the plants as promised and I was really impressed with how well they shipped them. I kept the container it was that cool. I highly recommend them, and will definitely shop here again.

From WilliamJ | May 24, 2014


Fantastic cucumber plants!

From Richard | May 03, 2014


Pickles on the way!

Very happy with this plant. Love the packaging it came in, was very healthy when arrived and has stayed healthy, customer service picked up on the second ring with no automated system- I spoke with a real person! Can't wait to get some cucumbers from this and make homemade pickles!

From Kelly | May 02, 2014

Homemade Pickles Cucumber Plant

they look great can't wait for cucumbers to grow. thanks!

From laquita | March 29, 2014


HOLY CUCUMBER

Please be aware that each single order comes with 2 plants. I bought 2 orders of these and planted all 4 plants. At first I thought it wasn't enough and planted more left over seeds that i had. Big mistake. As soon as I did that, they took off. 4 of these plants are plenty! I will be pickling all summer. Very high yield for each plant and they are looking beautiful. Make sure you have plenty of space for these. They take over! Great plants and very good quality

From Darlene K | July 09, 2013
