Canning cucumber seeds enable you to grow a specific variety of cucumber, often used to make pickles and other preserves. They are generally small in size, with a firm skin and sparsely developed seeds, making them ideal for canning. To grow pickling cucumbers successfully, you can start by sowing the seeds directly into the soil after any risk of frost, when temperatures are warm and stable. Choose a sunny spot in your garden with well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Keep the soil evenly moist by watering regularly, especially during periods of active growth.
Preserving cucumbers can be harvested when they are still young and tender. It's important to harvest cucumbers regularly to encourage continuous production. Once harvested, preserving cucumbers can be used to make pickles, relishes, marinades and other preserves. They are often pickled in a mixture of vinegar, water, salt and spices to create deliciously crunchy, aromatic pickles. Pickling cucumbers can also be eaten fresh, but their main use is in preserves due to their size and texture. Take advantage of the abundant harvest of preserving cucumbers to prepare tasty homemade preserves to enjoy all year round.

Good to know:
Sowing: March / May

The Confire Cucumber is a small variety, perfect for garnishing meals or for being pickled like gherkins. Growing it is fun for the whole family!
For sowing, opt for March, April or May, using pots. Once the plants have three leaves and there's no risk of frost, transplant them into cool, loose, humus-rich soil, at a distance of around 60 cm between plants, with rows 1.30 m apart. Choose a warm, sunny spot and make sure to maintain regular watering to promote healthy growth.
Tip: Most cucumber varieties are "runners", producing long stems that can take up a lot of space. For small vegetable gardens, encourage plants to climb upwards by having them climb a wire fence. Help them cling to the support and enjoy better light exposure, easier harvesting and prevention of fruit soiling. This method also works for pickles!
