Notes
'Boston Pickling Cucumber' (Cucumis sativus 'Boston Pickling Cucumber') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. The vines bloom from early to late summer and attract bees and butterflies. Plants stay 12 to 24 inches tall and spread 35 to 94 inches, so give them room to roam.
Pairs well with Dill, Nasturtium, Sunflower, and African marigold.
