Growing Boston Pickling Heirloom Cucumber

‘Boston Pickling’ is a classic heirloom cucumber prized for its ideal pickling size, thin bumpy skin, and crisp texture. The fruits have a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a satisfying crunch that makes them especially well suited for homemade pickles. Easy to grow and productive, this longtime favorite is a dependable choice for gardeners who love preserving their harvest.

Start ‘Boston Pickling’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly in the garden about ½ inch deep. Space plants about 4 inches apart and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs well in warm growing conditions and benefits from regular harvesting to keep the vines productive.

Ready to harvest in about 52 days, begin picking the fruits once they reach a usable size while they are still firm, crisp, and tender. Harvest regularly to encourage continued production and maintain the best texture and flavor.

Crisp, flavorful, and dependable, ‘Boston Pickling’ is especially well suited for pickling.
