Daily Botanical: ‘Parisian Pickling’ Cucumber
Remember summer? Yeah, me neither.
If you’re looking for a crunchy little cucumber, especially one to pickle, give ‘Parisian Pickling’ a try. I’ve grown it a few times, although none have ever made it to the pickling stage. Few even make it past the garden since I love to pick them off the vine and eat them while working. Come to think of it, one of the big benefits of growing even one edible plant in your garden is that there is always something to munch on while you work. And gardening always makes me hungry.

Look at the little baby dill! Itsa little bitty! It just seems to crave dill and garlic seasoning. Boil that sucker.

Ha! Yes, this is a particularly small variety. At this size they are often called “cornichons”.
