Product Spotlight: Pickling Cucumbers, Kohlrabi

Pickling Cucumbers

 

Salt and Pepper

 

Harmonie



2524G Salt and Pepper
is a new, organically-grown variety exclusive to Johnny's. This white-skinned cucumber with black spines resists both powdery mildew and angular leaf spot. Salt and Pepper's fruits average 3-5" and are good fresh or for making pickles. Salt and Pepper won the 2011 Green Thumb Award. Insect protection and increased warmth provided by Agribon+ Row Covers can create earlier, heavier yields.
2564 Harmonie (F1) is easy to grow and high yielding. Its dark green, smooth, European-style fruits are 3-5" with good flavor and can be used fresh or pickled. It is particularly suitable for gherkins when harvested small. Harmonie resists both scab and powdery mildew.

Kohlrabi

237 Kossak (F1) is a giant kohlrabi available in either organic or conventional seed. Peeling the woody "skin" of Kossak reveals a sweet and tender interior. It is best harvested when round and about 8" diameter, before elongation. It is a great season extender and will keep in cold storage for several months. Use Agribon+ AG-15 Insect Barrier row covers to protect against cabbage worms and diamondback moths.
