Cucumber 'Homemade Pickles'

This variety combines the use of gherkin with cucumber! Harvested young (4-12 cm in length), it is a handy snack cucumber or a fantastic gherkin, which of course still needs to be pickled. Harvesting later (18-20 cm) results in a short, but very tasty cucumber. The skin colour in the cucumber stage is beautifully dark green and quite smooth. The high resistance to viral and fungal diseases is striking: this means great harvest security. Cultivation in the open ground is successful.
For grafting cucumbers, use this variety: 133000 'Boule de Siam'. As a tool, we recommend these grafting clips: 847525 Grafting clip 2.5 mm.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION CUCUMBERS:
Cucumbers that grow long vines can be pruned regularly. For outdoor cultivation (depending on the variety), a reasonable summer is needed, and in the greenhouse, all varieties grow. Sometimes it is advisable to let the plant grow outside if fruit set fails! Cucumbers are usually harvested unripe, unless the skin becomes extra beautiful when ripe. Unripe fruits are sliced and used raw in salads; ripe fruits can be spooned out like a melon. Many small cucumber-like fruits or (extremely) young harvested fruits are eaten as gherkins (pickled) or as a healthy snack with a drink or meal. Pay attention to the individual description of our species and varieties; some are purely ornamental and NOT edible!
