If you have a small garden, or want to grow in a container, the Bush Pickle Cucumber is perfect for you. This compact plant only grows to 30 in. wide and is disease resistant. It produces many Cukes that are best picked at 5 in. long. Planting Information: When and Where to Plant: Select a sunny, well-drained location and sow seed in the late spring when the soil is warm, and all danger of frost is past. For earlier crop, start indoors 4-6 weeks before setting out. For best results, loosen soil with spade or fork, fertilize with vegetable food and smooth with rake. Firm soil over seed. Care: Keep soil moist, and feed monthly. Tie vines on trellis to save space. Harvesting: Pick when fruits are 4-5 in./10-13 cm. long, while the texture is still firm and the seeds small. Harvest earlier for "baby" pickles. Pick every 2-4 days to encourage more fruit to form.Seed Variety : Cucumber, Bush PickleGermination Time : 7 - 14 DaysDays to Maturity : 45 - 55 DaysPlanting Depth : 1 in.Seed Spacing : 3 in.Seeds per Group (Hill) : 4 - 8Spacing of Groups (Hill) : 18 in. - 30 in.Thin to Plants Per Group (Hill) : 3 - 4Light Requirements : Full Sun
