Parisian Pickling is a classic heirloom cucumber grown for its crisp texture, fine flavour and excellent pickling quality. Harvest the fruits young for crunchy little cornichons, or let them grow slightly larger for slicing and fresh eating. The plants are productive and vigorous, producing plenty of small, attractive cucumbers with thin skin and a pleasing snap. Perfect for jars of homemade pickles, summer salads or straight from the vine, this old French favourite is a must-grow for anyone who loves a reliable cucumber with real kitchen purpose.

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. Lebanese cucumbers are usually just right at 15-20cm long.
