Gherkins are small, unripe fruits of a cucumber-like plant. They are harvested when still young and crisp and are often pickled in vinegar with spices for a slightly tart flavor.
Gherkins and cucumbers belong to the same plant family and their cultivation is similar, but they are different varieties. Gherkin varieties produce smaller, firmer fruits with bumpy skin, ideal for pickling, while cucumbers are smoother and larger and more suitable for fresh consumption.
Yes, there are different types of gherkins available, such as 'Vorgebirgstrauben'. The different varieties can vary in size, shape, and flavor, but all are suitable for pickling.
For best results, start sowing indoors in pots from April to mid-May. Outdoors, in the ground, you can start from mid-May, once the risk of night frost has passed.
Sowing indoors in pots gives the plants a head start. If you transplant them later, they will be stronger and more resistant to weather conditions. Sowing outdoors is also possible, but the yield may be slightly lower.
Use one seed per pot (at least 5x5 cm). If you sow multiple seeds, thin them later to create a single, strong plant.
Harvest the gherkins when they are young and firm, usually 5–10 cm long, for the best flavor and crispness
