Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and 6 inches apart, thinning seedlings to 12-18 inches apart once they have two sets of true leaves. Cucumbers thrive in full sun and rich, well-drained soil. Provide a trellis or support for vining growth to save space and keep fruits clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep soil evenly moist, especially during flowering and fruiting, to ensure proper development. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest cucumbers when they are small and firm, about 3-5 inches long, for best pickling quality. Regular harvesting encourages continued production. Monitor for common pests and diseases, and practice crop rotation to maintain plant health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Boston Pickling Cucumber Seeds (Heirloom, Non-GMO).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824676634934,"sku":"FOLIA2-955","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7003171850_8hxx.jpg?v=1793004054","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/boston-pickling-cucumber-seeds-25-heirloom-non-gmo-seeds-for-crisp-small-cucumbers","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
