Cornichon - Cucumber

Cucumis Sativus

This seed was given to us at a seed swap a few years ago and we first grew it out in 2022. It did really well, producing lots of tasty baby cucumbers that can be picked young and pickled or eaten as salad cucumbers if allowed to grow on a bit. We would love to multiply seed and add it to the SSN list 2025. Cucumbers need to be isolated to produce seed that is true to type – either by distance or by hand pollinating.
