Heirloom Boston Pickling Cucumber (3g)

Produces heavy and continual yields of fruits measuring 3 to 6 inches, perfect for pickling.

The dark green, blunt-ended cucumbers can also be used in salads! The average time to maturity is 57 days.

Heirloom Boston Pickling Cucumber Planting Instructions

  • Cucumbers are very sensitive to cold. They need warm soil and air, whether direct seeded or transplanted.
  • Don't rush to plant too early. Seeds will not germinate if soil temperature is below 50°F, and germinate only slowly at 68°F.
  • Direct seed 1 to 1 1/2 inches deep, either in rows (2 inches apart in rows 5 to 6 feet apart) or in hills (3 to 6 seeds per hill, hills spaced 3 to 5 feet apart).
  • Thin to 8 to 15 inches apart in rows or 2 to 3 plants per hill. Snip off plants when thinning to avoid disturbing the roots of nearby plants.
  • For early crops, use black plastic mulch and row covers or other protection to speed warming and protect plants.

     

    Direct Seed into Holes in Plastic

    Cucumbers seeded into black plastic usually produce larger yields, as well as earlier ones. For extra early crops, start plants inside 3 to 5 weeks before transplanting.

    Sow 3 seeds per pot in 2-inch pots. Thin to 1 or 2 plants per pot. Grow above 70°F during the day and above 60°F at night.

    Be careful when hardening-off plants not to expose them to cold temperatures. Plants with 1 or 2 true leaves transplant best.

    Transplant into black plastic mulch or warm garden soil after danger of frost has passed and weather has settled. Be careful not to damage roots when transplanting.

    If using peat pots, make sure they are saturated before transplanting and completely buried. If using row covers, remove when flowers begin to blossom to assure good pollination.

    For a continuous harvest, make successive plantings every 2 to 3 weeks until about 3 months before the first fall frost date. About 1 month before first frost, start pinching off new flowers so plants channel energy into ripening existing fruit.

    Most cucumbers have both male and female flowers. The male flowers blossom first and produce pollen, but no fruit. Cucumbers are heavy feeders and require fertile soil, nitrogen fertilizer, and/or additions of high-N organic matter sources. Pale, yellowish leaves indicate nitrogen deficiency. Leaf bronzing is a sign of potassium deficiency.

    To reduce pest and disease pressure, do not plant cucumbers where you've grown them in the last 2 years.

     

    Heirloom Boston Pickling Cucumber Harvesting Instructions

    Generally the time to harvest cucumbers is approximately 60 to 70 days from planting to harvest.

    Cucumbers can be picked at any time there is fruit, depending on the cucumber variety and use of the fruit. Cucumbers should be picked early in the morning and refrigerated immediately.

    The larger a cucumber gets, the more of its flavor is lost, becoming bitter and unpalatable. Cucumbers that have turned yellow are past their peak.

    Once the first cucumbers are ready to be harvested, cut the vine about a 1/2 inch above the fruit. Harvest all of the vegetables before maturity to ensure quality fruits and higher yields.

    During harvest time, cucumbers should be picked at least every other day, with daily harvesting being ideal.


    Saving Seeds

    Slice fruit lengthwise and scrape seeds out with spoon. Allow seeds and jelly-like liquid to sit in jar at room temperature for 3 or 4 days. Fungus will start to form on top. Stir daily.

    Jelly will dissolve and good seeds will sink to bottom while remaining debris and immature seeds can be rinsed away. Spread seeds on a paper towel or screen until dry.

    Love them!
    Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
    Love them! After 10 years with our MyPillows, they finally lost their fluff. The reviews I read of the MyPillows of today were not good; they didn’t have as much filling as they used to. These pillows remind me of how fluffy our new MyPillows were 10 years ago!! You sink right into them and can mush them however and they stay. These are way cheaper than the Coop and it’s the same concept; add or remove the filling as needed. The cooling side is a huge plus too! You won’t be disappointed with these pillows!

    Great pillow, but the cooling effect depends on the cover
    Color: Blue-ice Plus, Size: King(Pack of 2)
    I really like this pillow overall. It’s comfortable, supportive, and feels well made. When you use it without a pillowcase, it definitely feels cool to the touch and does what it claims in terms of that initial cooling sensation. However, once you put a pillowcase on it, you can’t really feel the cooling effect anymore. I’ve tried multiple different pillowcases made from different materials, and none of them really let that cool feeling come through. That said, I still love the pillow itself. It’s comfortable and supportive enough that I’m keeping it. Just keep in mind that the cooling feature works best without a cover, which isn’t ideal for everyone. Overall, a good pillow — just manage expectations about the cooling effect once it’s covered.

    Best Pillow Ever
    Color: Blue-ice Plus, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
    Best pillow ever. Although it still gets "hot", it does take longer to get "hot". I love this pillow. I was buying a new pillow almost every 3 months. Other pillows would either remain rock hard or go flat. I was concerned at first when reading the description as I though the memory foam would be big pieces. They are soft fluffy pieces. I had to remove almost half of the foam to get the pillow to what works for me. I have not had to put any filler back in. Maybe in a couple of more months I may have to put a bit more in, but it is holding it's shape and not going flat. I do fluff it every night. This helps. I am a stomach sleeper. I have bought the expensive purple pillow and hated it so much I gave it to my daughter. This QUTOOL Pillow is the best! I bought a 2 pack. Have not used the other pillow yet, but I feel I may actually go years for once without having to buy a pillow as I have the 2nd one set aside if the first one gets to a point in need replacement. I have bought Dollar Store pillows. I have bought $300 pillows. None of them even come close to this pillow and the way you can adjust this pillow for you. The pillows came in a white mesh like bag. I keep all the unused "stuffing" in this bag. I have it hanging in my closet and I just fluff the bag once a month to keep the filling fresh so it is ready if and when I need it. Coming from someone who has trouble staying asleep, neck issues, a stomach sleeper who hate those flat pillows manufacturers think stomach sleepers like but actually hate, buy this pillow. Just buy it. Best Pillow for a picky person like me. Buy 2 or more so if you have to stay at a hotel, you can take your own pillow.
