Overview
Double Yield earns its name through sheer productivity. Introduced in 1924, this heirloom pickling cucumber bears slim, dark green cucumbers, roughly 4 to 6 inches long and 2 inches wide, which is equally good in a jar or sliced fresh. The more you pick, the harder it produces, so check the vines every couple of days. Sow directly once frost has passed, or start seed indoors about three weeks early and transplant gently since cucumbers resent root disturbance. Rich, warm soil and even watering matter for flavor; dry spells during flowering and fruiting are what bring on bitterness. A trellis keeps the fruit straight and clean and saves bed space. A dependable heirloom for gardeners who want a steady supply of pickle-sized cucumbers.
