Vigorous vines give large yields of smooth, dark green, blunt-ended fruits that are very crisp and of excellent quality, producing heavy and continual yields of 3–6 inch fruits that are perfect for pickling. The dark green cucumbers can also be used in salads, making Boston Pickling a genuinely versatile heirloom that earns its place in any kitchen garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen-pollinated, 57 days.
