These blimp shaped cucumbers are medium green with small white spines and a crisp interior. You can pick them at 4cm (1") for baby sweet pickles or wait for bigger ones. In time, they can grow to around 13cm (5") long, but maintain their appealing pickle shape. Homemade Pickles cucumber seeds produce plants that are vigorous with excellent disease resistance and high yields. Provide a sturdy trellis for this rampant climber, and keep plants picked to keep more fruits coming over a long period. This cucumber can be eaten raw, but it is a little drier and crunchier than regular slicing cucumbers. These are the traits that make such high quality dill pickles.
Matures in 60 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)
