Homemade Pickles Cucumber
Growing Homemade Pickles Cucumber
‘Homemade Pickles’ is a productive open-pollinated cucumber prized for its ideal pickling shape, crisp texture, and excellent flavor. Medium-green fruits develop small white spines and grow on prolific plants with strong disease resistance, making this variety a dependable choice for home gardeners who enjoy preserving their harvest.
Start ‘Homemade Pickles’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly in the garden about ½ inch deep. Space plants about 12 inches apart and grow in full sun. This variety is noted for strong disease resistance and performs best with regular harvesting throughout the season.
Ready to harvest in about 55 days, pick the fruits at a smaller size for sweet pickles or allow them to grow larger for sturdy spears and classic dill pickles. Harvest regularly to encourage continued production and maintain the best texture and flavor.
Crisp, flavorful, and dependable, ‘Homemade Pickles’ is especially well suited for pickling.
