Cucumber National Pickling

Ideal for pickling, with its small, blocky fruit and tender skin. If allowed to reach full size, they can be used fresh as slicing cucumbers. Pick fruit often to encourage the plant to reproduce.

Plant directly in the ground after danger of frost is past and soil is warm - 65 F(18 C). If you wish to start plants indoors, start them 6 weeks before last frost using peat pots making sure to weather the plants before setting them in the ground. Roots should be disturbed as little as possible while transplanting. Soil should be well worked and kept moist, pH of 6.0-6.8. Location should be sheltered from wind. Cucumbers are shallow rooting so it is advisable to mulch to keep the soil moist. Extended periods of cold weather followed by bright sun will cause sudden wilt.
