As the name suggests, Boston Pickling Cucumbers make great pickles using the 3” long cucumbers. The plants are high yielding and can be continuously harvested. An oldie but a goodie, this heirloom dates back to 1880 and is resistant to angular leaf spot, downy mildew, powdery mildew and scab.

Alternatively, start seeds indoors 2 weeks before your last frost date – in peat pots, so as to not disturb the roots when transplanting.
