Cucumber Gherkin
Gherkin Cucumber is a fast growing outdoor type which produces a mass of small slightly prickly fruits ideal for pickling.
Cucumber is a traditional salad vegetable which can be produced either in a glasshouse or outdoors. The long green types found in the shops can only be grown with the aid of a heated glasshouse, but other types are quite at home in your vegetable plot or grown earlier using cloches, cold frames or polytunnels.
