Description

Rediscover a true American classic with Cucumber Seeds – Vining – Boston Pickling, an heirloom variety cherished since the 1800s for its crisp texture, consistent yields, and perfect pickling size. This time-tested favorite continues to delight gardeners with its dependable performance and authentic, old-fashioned flavor.

The Boston Pickling Cucumber produces short, blocky fruits about 3–6 inches long, ideal for both pickling and fresh eating. The thin, tender skin and firm, crunchy flesh absorb brines beautifully, making them perfect for creating traditional dill or sweet pickles. When harvested young, these cucumbers are exceptionally crisp and flavorful, with a refreshing, mild taste that shines in every bite.

Maturing in approximately 55–60 days, this vigorous vining variety thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. It’s a prolific producer that performs well in a variety of climates, offering a continuous harvest throughout the warm season. Trellising helps promote straighter fruits and maximizes garden space, while regular watering ensures the best texture and flavor.

Beloved by generations of home gardeners and pickling enthusiasts, Boston Pickling remains one of the most reliable and flavorful varieties available.

Grow Cucumber Seeds – Vining – Boston Pickling for a bountiful harvest of crisp, classic cucumbers that turn every batch of pickles into a homemade delight.
