Do you have a yen to make your own pickles? This heavy-bearing, disease resistant pickling cucumber variety is perfect for you! The vines are vigorous without being overwhelming, and the little cucumbers are just perfect for your home-pickling project. Fruiting is early and prolonged, so you'll have plenty of time to harvest and enjoy the fruits of your labour.


To assist with germination this seed has been treated with an anti fungal agent Thiram. Seed is for sowing only and should not be fed to animals.

  • Growing Information

    How to Sow

    Start your seeds in spring. Direct sowing is the best solution, but if you want to get an early start, you can sow them in pots and plant them out after the last frost. Plant your seeds no more than 10mm deep, and keep the soil moist. Water deeply, and then let just the surface of the soil dry between waterings to keep them moist but not soggy.

    How to Harvest

    Harvest your cucumbers in the mornings when they are at their firmest and juiciest. Cut them from the vine to prevent breakage. Don't let the seeds mature, even if you have more cucumbers than you need, as that tells the plant it can stop producing.
