Gherkin (Pickled cucumber)

Gherkins, also known as pickling cucumbers, is a type of cucumber that produce small, firm fruits perfect for pickling. They have a bumpy skin and a crisp texture, offering a fresh and tangy flavor.
They are cherished for their small size, crunchy texture, and versatility, making them ideal for pickling and fresh consumption.
Gherkin plants are vigorous climbers or trailers and can grow up to 1-2 meters in length. They benefit from trellising to keep fruits clean and save space.
Harvest approximately 50-60 days after sowing.
If starting seeds indoors, transplant seedlings when they have at least two true leaves and the danger of frost has passed. Or direct sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date when the soil temperature is at least 18°C. Plant seeds 30-60 cm apart in rows that are 90 cm apart.
Thrives in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. Require consistent moisture for optimal growth.
Gherkins have both male and female flowers and rely on insects for pollination. Encourage pollinators by planting flowers nearby.
Harvest gherkins when they are young and firm, typically 5-10 cm in length, for the best flavor and texture.
