Totally!
Yeah, some varieties are bred specifically to be smaller-fruited…..but regardless of the variety, they aren’t “too small to pick” (particularly for pickling purposes!) unless you *want* a larger seed cavity.

Are you boiling them in second picture? Is that pickling spice? Please share the recipe and explain! I’m always eager to try new things. I’m

True. Picking cucumbers too late can cause them to stop producing.
I’m attaching an excellent video on cucumbers. Some great stuff on there that I didn’t know and I’ve been growing cucumbers for decades. Use 1.5-2x playback speed.

They are beautiful. I now only grow this variety (small pickling) because I find them to be fresher and better tasting.
❓Isn’t one of the tips supposed to be cut off to prevent bitterness? Just something to look into.
Yay!! 🥳
I had a few on my vine, and we were delighted by the flavour of our pre-pickles.
But never pick them too late!
Can you share the recipe? Also, can I pickle English cucumbers? That’s the type I have.
I absolutely love baby pickles. We have them on relish trays at every family event
If you pick them too early , it’s not a big dill.
cornichons are my favorite
Yum!
