Pickling Cucumber

These vining plants produce abundant cucumbers with a knobby skin and crunchy texture. Grow plants on a tomato cage to save space and keep the plants and fruit clean. Growing the plants trained upwards will help the cucumbers stay nice and straight.

Cucumbers want full sun and very warm conditions for best production. Amend soil with plenty of compost and a good organic vegetable fertilizer. Space plants 1.5-2 feet apart and water regularly.

Harvest pickling cucumbers between 2-4 inches long, before they are too mature and the seeds inside are over developed. Use them to make your favorite pickle recipe.
