Cucumber – Boston Pickling

Description

55 Days  | This heirloom pickling cucumber has been around since 1880. Small thin skinned cucumbers on fast growing productive vines. Perfect for making pickles, but also good in salads. They are very crisp and good quality. Best when harvested at 2 to 6″ long. Semi-smooth skin with small black spines, these slightly tapering cucumbers grow 3″-6″ long and an inch wide at the shoulder. Long season, a rapidly producing summer favorite and, since this variety is mature in about 56-63 days, be prepared for season-long harvests well into the end of summer.
