When it comes to delicious pickling cucumber varieties, the Boston Pickling cucumber is near the top of the list!
A seedless cucumber, this heirloom variety has incredible flavor and crispness. And it is a big producer too.

It was believed to be first developed back in the 1800’s in Boston, Massachusetts, and draws its name from the city.
The cucumber plant produces a large quantity of 3 to 4″ smooth-skinned cukes on long vines.
It matures quickly. Cucumbers can be ready to pick in as little as 50 to 55 days.
Plants should be spaced 24 to 36 inches apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Support in the way of a trellis or fence is an excellent choice to make for easy picking.
