Overview
Parisian Gherkin F1 is a small-fruited pickling cucumber from Terra Organics, a 2015 AAS regional winner for the Northeast and Mountain/Southwest. The plants are compact and bushy, about 10 inches tall with a 24-inch spread, dark green foliage, and no need for staking, which makes them a good fit for containers. Fruits are tapered, medium green, 2 to 4 inches long and 1 to 2 ounces, with a crisp, sweet bite; expect 20 to 25 per plant. It resists scab and cucumber mosaic virus and tolerates powdery mildew. Sow directly once soil has warmed to about 70 F, since transplanting is not recommended, and harvest around 50 days from seed. Give it full sun, well-drained soil enriched with compost, deep watering and a mulch layer.
