For cucumber seed ideas, I’m going to start out with my favorite which are smaller pickling cucumbers, then go to larger ones and then uniques.
Top Ten List:
Here are some smaller pickling cucumbers. They taste good fresh or pickled.
1)Â Homemade Pickles – I absolutely love this one!
2) National Pickling
3) Boston Pickling
Next are the larger cucumbers:
4) Tasty Green – this cucumber is long and thin. Need a tall trellis for this one and the next one.
5) Telegraph Improved – this one produces cukes that are thin and up to 18 inches long
6) Marketmore – this one will still taste good at 9 inches long.
7) Straight Eight
8) White Wonder – this one is an ivory/pale yellow.
Here are a few that have unique colors and shapes:
9)Â Lemon – this variety is round and has yellow skin.
10) Dragon’s Egg – this one is shaped like an egg and is cream on the outside.
I found these selections at Botanical Interests, MI Gardener and Baker Creek.
