  • Name: Cucumber – Homemade Pickle
    Name: Cucumber – Homemade Pickle Arguably the best cucumber for pickles because the solid, crisp interior is perfect for 1 1/2" to 5" long pickles and has been bred for the purpose of pickling. Homemade Pickles cucumbers have excellent disease resistance, VERY HIGH yields, and you can begin harvesting 55 days after planting. The small cucumbers also can be sliced fresh for salads. A monoecious variety, it does not need a be grown in large containers. When to plant outside: 1 to 2 weeks after average last frost date AND when soil temperatures are warm, at least 65 degree pollinator. 4' vines work well in small gardens and may also s Plant in mounds or rows, as you prefer. If rows, plant every 4", thinning to 1 plant per foot. Mounds should be 4' apart with 6 seedlings on each mound thinned to 3 per mound. Another HIGHLY recommended method is to plant with a trellis. Cucumbers grow straighter and are easier to see when harvesting with this method. Use recommended row spacing and tie the main stem to the trellis with string or twist-tie. Harvesting: Do not let cucumbers get too big - vines stop producing if there are overly mature cucumbers on the vine. Constantly pick at correct size (or smaller)! Cut off vine, do not break off. Once picked, immediately immerse fruit in cold water to disperse "field heat": this increases quality and life of picked fruit.
