    Delicous little pickling cucumbers! Parthenocarpic variety, so you can grow it under row cover (I highly recommend tulle) and avoid insect-borne pathogens. They grow to between 2.5 and 3.5 inches long. I just ate my first one - very crisp and very flavorful! I don't think any will find their way to a pickle jar, because they are just so tasty. I'll grow it again.
