Cucumber Gherkin National

A very fast growing open pollinated variety which will produce a mass of small, prickly fruits that can be picked and eaten in the normal way or, as the name suggests, pickled to make your own gherkins. Known as a 'Ridge Type' it is suitable for outdoor growing, frame growing or growing in a polytunnel or greenhouse. A high yielding, vigorous vine, train plants up a wire or canes. Outdoor varieties can be sown after last frosts when the ground has warmed up.
