Description
Very productive pickling type. Bright green fruits reach to 8 inches, but may be harvested much smaller. Joseph Harris Seed Company originally introduced this variety in 1924. They wrote: “The remarkable thing about this new cucumber is its wonderful productiveness. For every pickle that is cut off, two or three more are produced.” Great flavor and a top producer!
Cucumber – Double Yield – Cucumis sativus
Soil & Water: Plant cucumbers in hills or mounds with plenty of added organic matter. Sow 6-7 seeds in a hill. Once the seedlings sprout, thin to the 3 best vines.
