Overview
SMR 58 is an open-pollinated pickling cucumber that comes on early. The fruit is 4 to 5 inches long and carries small black spines, the traditional look of a dill pickle. Scab, target leaf spot and powdery mildew are all on its resistance list, which keeps the vines cleaner through the season. Since it is not a hybrid, seed can be saved. Harvest every couple of days once picking starts.
