25 SEED PACK
Best heirloom cucumber for making relishes.
National Pickling Cucumber is ideal for making dill pickles as it was actually bred to have a tapered shape to fit better into jars.
However, this variety is also excellent for salads! National Pickling has a thin-skin allowing it to receive and capture pickling spices easily.
Tender and delectable at any age - pick at 2-3 inches as a gherkin, 4 inches for fresh eating or to mature size to pickle.
