The Boston Pickling cucumber is an early variety of cucumber that is sweet, tender and seedless. The Boston Pickling is large and smooth with a soft outer layer. Since this variety is mature in just fifty two days, a steady harvest can be achieved by planting regularly throughout the season. Originating in 1877, Boston Pickling is the most popular cucumber to be pickled as the name implies. Smooth surfaced, bright-green, 3-inch fruits have black spines and blunt ends. Very high yields. Bears continually if kept picked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!--split--\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Boston Pickling Cucumber Garden Seeds\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLatin Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e Cucumis sativus \u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50-60 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRow Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist and well drained, temp of 55 to 65 F, pH 6 to 7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemp Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warmer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiseases\/pests:\u003c\/strong\u003e Susceptible to corn wireworms, cutworms, and fungal diseases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003eLight and dark green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003eSweet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeeds Per Package:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e3 g - Approximately 100 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e1 oz- Approximately 1,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 oz - Approximately 4,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 lb - Approximately 16,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 lb - Approximately 80,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eCucumbers usually have both male and female flowers. It is the female flower that produces fruit while the male flower produces primarily pollen. Sow between March and April. Plant this heirloom next to corn or radish and avoid potato, cauliflower, and basil. Boston Pickling has a vine growth habit that spread across the soil. Harvest between July and August--when the fruit is 6 to 7 inches long. If cucumbers turn yellow, it's too late. Pick fruit early in the morning and refrigerate for the best flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!--split--\u003e","brand":"Mountain Valley Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"3g Pkg (3x4)","offer_id":35361605255330,"sku":"18601","price":1.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":35361605288098,"sku":"30974","price":5.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 oz","offer_id":35361605320866,"sku":"30973","price":7.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":35361605353634,"sku":"30970","price":18.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb","offer_id":35361605386402,"sku":"30971","price":64.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/6706\/0898\/products\/cucumber-pickling-boston-pickling-seed-wm_700.jpg?v=1595856192","url":"https:\/\/bestchoiceproducts13-com.myshopify.com\/products\/cucumber-pickling-boston-pickling","provider":"bestchoiceproducts13.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
