Cucumber Little Leaf<\/strong>
\nCucumis sativus<\/em><\/p>\n

Excellent quality gherkin for marinades. Harvest between 6 and 10 cm in length. Plants are compact, 3 to 5 feet long, and have very small leaves, making them easy to harvest. Extremely productive and highly resistant to disease. For indoor or outdoor growing*. 58 days.<\/p>\n

*One of the few cultivars that is reproducible and parthenocarpic<\/em><\/a>It produces both male and female flowers, but does not always need pollination to produce cucumbers, which means it can be grown indoors or outdoors under netting. Note, however, that this is not an easy crop to grow indoors, and you can expect a certain number of female flowers to abort before production begins.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Full sun. Well-drained, rich soil. Direct sowing after the last frost or indoor sowing 2 to 5 weeks before. Protect young plants from insects at the beggining of the season. 1.5 cm deep. 40 cm between plants.<\/p>\n

Germination: 99% in November 2025<\/strong>
\nEcological seeds produced for us by Alexandre Gu\u00e9rin, Prendre Racine<\/a>, Charrette, Quebec.<\/em><\/p>\n

Note<\/strong>
\nThis is our favorite variety for making dill pickles, it’s really good quality for pickling. Its shape is perfect, I like that it has a small diameter compared to its length, so you can fit more into the pots. And it harvests much better than other varieties, since you can easily find the cucumbers between its small leaves.<\/p>\n

To eat fresh, it’s a little blander than others, but it’s always crunchy and bitter-free.<\/p>\n

We grow it in the field, and have not tested it indoors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
