Grow a garden filled with the delicious Bush Pickle Cucumber, from freshly harvested Cucumis sativus seeds. Bush Pickle is a hybrid variety of cucumber that produces compact plants. Each vine grows to a mature length of only 2 or 3 feet long, baring small 5 inch fruits. Because of its compact growth habit, these plants are the perfect choice for pots & containers and in smaller garden spaces.
Bush Pickle is perfect for pickling, as its name states. These plants and fruits handle the heat very well and will produce plenty of cucumbers through the summer months. Even though this variety forms smaller, compact vines, using stakes or a support, such as a trellis, can allow for more space in the garden. It has been scientifically proven that growing cucumbers vertically promotes better yields due to better air flow. Harvest in roughly 45 to 50 days.
Cucumbers taste great in salads, and most varieties are pickled as well. There are several health benefits that you may be interested in learning about, when it comes to consuming cucumbers. Some of these benefits include, reduced risk of cancer, reduced inflammation, fresher breath and benefits in weight loss.
