200 Cucumber Seeds - Homemade Pickles Heirloom - Premium Non-GMO
Non-GMO, open-pollinated Homemade Pickles Cucumber Seeds from Seeds By Design yield a pickling-variety of cucumber with small white spines and crunchy cores. Growing on up to 5' disease-resistant vines, the Homemade Pickles variety produces high yields of pickling cucumbers that can be picked at 1-1/2" to make gherkins or at 5" to 6" to make dill spears. These heirloom cucumber seeds come from Mountain Valley Seed Co., which is a small, family-owned seed company known for supplying premium-quality seeds to both home growers and fresh market producers. 55 to 60 days to maturity
Heirloom pickling cucumbers grow well in nitrogen-rich soil that's well-draining and nearly neutral. You can either directly sow them into the garden when the soil is at least 65 degrees F, or you can start them indoors 3 to 4 weeks before you plan to transplant them to get a very early harvest.
Because of their vining habit of up to 5', Homemade Pickles cucumbers are best when supported by a trellis. A trellis system will help ensure proper airflow, keep the fruit off the ground to prevent disease, and save space in the garden with vertical growth.
***CUCUMBERS GROWING GUIDE BELOW***
Sowing: Cucumbers do not take well to transplanting, so either start them early in peat pots or plant them directly. Start them indoors about 2 weeks before frost, placing 3-4 seeds 1/2" deep in the pot. Keep the air temperature at least 80 degrees F. When two or three leaves appear on each plant, cut off all but the strongest plant with a scissors. Before planting them, "harden" the seedlings by setting them outside during the day. They should be planted no sooner than a week after the last spring frost, when the air temperatures consistently average 65-75 degrees F. For planting them in a hill, place three seedlings or 7-8 seeds in each hill; space hills 4-5' apart. If rows are preferrable, plant seedlings 1' apart or place 5 seeds within 1' and later thin them. Cucumbers love heat and cannot endure even a light frost; if cold temperatures threaten, cover the seedlings.
Growing: Marketmore cucumbers tend to be very disease resistant. Moisture is the key to growing excellent cucumbers; keep the soil consistently moist. When the vines have developed, apply mulch or straw to conserve moisture and control weeds. Watch out for cucumber beetles, and remove them immediately to prevent damage.
All multiple orders of the same seed are put in the same bag. For example if you order 500 beefsteak tomato seeds x 3 then 1500 seeds will be put in the same bag. We do not send out 3 individual bags with 500 in each. This goes for all seeds unless they are listings of different seeds.
