ronda pickling cucumber

In our 2015 pickling cuke trial, Ronda caught our fancy. From three short-vined plants we harvested upwards of 130 handsome dark green gherkins over four weeks. Gynoecious, parthenocarpic and early, Ronda also sported lasting foliage health in a bad PM season. For those perfect tiny sour pickles with fine crunchy texture, we recommend picking fruits at 3" long or smaller. Not at all bitter, Ronda is sweet and buttery when raw, large or small. “The Ronda cucumber seeds were a bit pricey but they all grew and you forgive them their cost when you pick them—three times as prolific as any others we planted and most excellent flavor,” testify Nancy and Bruce Nickel of Mountain Home, Arkansas. Sold by seed count. 1g has ~40 seeds.
