Double Yield, Heirloom Cucumber Seeds

Double Yield — The 1924 Heirloom That Replaces Every Pickle You Cut With Two or Three More

Introduced in 1924 by the Joseph Harris Company of Cold Water, New York, with the remarkable claim that “for every pickle that is cut off, two or three more are produced,” Double Yield has been delivering on that promise for over 100 years. Gardeners today love its extraordinary productivity, crisp and juicy texture, and melon-like taste that sets it apart from standard pickling cucumbers. A very early pickling type, Double Yield bears fruits that are best for canning or fresh eating at 4–5 inches, with early- to mid-season maturity that makes it one of the most practical pickling cucumbers available. 50–60 days.

Growing Notes

Direct sow outdoors after last frost when soil has warmed to at least 60°F, or start indoors 3–4 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds 1 inch deep in fertile, well-draining soil. Space plants 12–18 inches apart in full sun. Trellis or stake vines for best air circulation and easier harvesting. Water consistently. Harvest frequently at 4–5 inches — regular picking is the key to Double Yield’s legendary productivity.
