History & Heritage:
The Wisconsin SMR (Saladmore Resistant) Pickling Cucumber was developed at the University of Wisconsin, blending agricultural innovation with practical gardening needs. Celebrated for its disease resistance and dependable performance, this variety has become a cornerstone for home gardeners and commercial picklers alike. Its reliability and consistent quality have made it a beloved heirloom in the world of cucumbers.

Culinary Versatility:
Wisconsin SMR Cucumbers are specifically bred for pickling. Their firm texture and ideal size (3-5 inches) make them perfect for creating crispy dill pickles, bread-and-butter pickles, or even spicy pickled delights. Beyond pickling, they shine in fresh applications, adding a refreshing crunch to salads, sandwiches, or as a snack straight from the vine.

Planting & Growth Tips:

  • Planting Depth: Sow seeds 1 inch deep directly into well-drained soil.
  • Spacing: Space plants 12 inches apart in rows 36 inches apart to provide ample room for vines to spread.
  • Support: While not required, using a trellis can improve air circulation and fruit quality.
  • Sunlight: Ensure full sun exposure for vigorous growth and a plentiful harvest.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during flowering and fruiting periods.

Why Grow Wisconsin SMR Pickling Cucumbers?
This classic variety combines the best traits for a gardener's success: disease resistance, high yields, and exceptional flavor. Whether you're crafting jars of crisp pickles or enjoying the cucumbers fresh, Wisconsin SMR offers versatility, reliability, and the satisfaction of growing a proven heirloom variety.
