Cucumis sativus
CUCUMBER-BOSTON PICKLING is an old American favorite originally introduced in 1880. This old & very reliable Cucumber is a very high yielder that bears lovely cucumbers continuously, provided the cucumbers are harvested continually & are not allowed to over-mature & become yellow. Productive vines produce large quantities of little blocky, green cucumbers that are just the right size for use as pickles & should be harvested when the cucumbers are 5 – 15cm long. Resistant to Mosaic Virus & Cucumber Scale. Matures in 50 to 55 days.
Sow seeds direct into well-prepared beds with added compost. Soil must be 20 degrees or above for best germination results. Press 4 seeds into a hole and then later to 2 seedlings. Space plants about 90cm apart. Can be grown on a small trellis.

ABSeeds is an Australian owned business trading under the umbrella of Direct Compost Solutions which is owned and managed by Victoria Brun.
We as a company endeavor to provide to the public, Organic, Old Fashioned, Heritage, and Open-pollinated seeds that have not been genetically modified.
We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.
Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
