Cucumber Piccolo di Parigi (38-2)
Cucumber Piccolo di Parigi (38-2)
Cucumber Piccolo di Parigi. Green pickler 3-4 inches long. One of the first cucumbers to produce fruit and produces over a long season. Very nice taste. Use fresh or for pickles. If using transplants, start 3 weeks before the set-out date, which should be once the soil has warmed up well and the weather settled down (usually a week or so after the last frost date for your area). Put five seeds in a six inch pot; after germinating, let three remain. Cucumbers resent root disturbance so transplant carefully. Place plants three feet apart in rows six feet apart. They also do well on a trellis. 5 gram packet, approximately 150 seeds. Approximately 30-45 seeds per gram.

Wanted to use these for pickling but could not get a sufficient quantity at a good size for the pickling process. Not a bad cuke for fresh but not what I was hoping for. Used Beth Alpha or Tortarello Barese for fresh cukes.
This cucumber is spectacular. Highly productive, disease resistant and adaptable as both a fresh-eating cuke with crispy, snappy texture and mild taste, and a pickler. I noticed in my garden, cucumber beetles, which in years past had been a major problem and disease vector, virtually ignored this plant, which I believe added to its longevity in the garden. I've recommended this variety to a few of my gardening friends and they've all loved it.
Hands down the best cucumber I've ever grown.
a sweet, productive little cuke, seems to have some disease resistance too as it held out longer than the others I planted.
