Boston Pickling Cucumber
Baker Creek
55 Days. An old heirloom dating back to 1880. Vigorous vines give large yields of smooth green fruit. It is excellent for pickles–very crisp and good quality. A very popular variety at the turn of the 20th century.
Growing Tips: Needs abundant soil moisture and rich soil. Some afternoon shade is beneficial in hottest summer weather. Trellis growing saves space. Harvest frequently to maintain production.
