Groovy, man! This funky cucumber cousin is a must-have for any kid's garden, perfect for snacking or pickling. Originally hailing from Africa, it made its way to the Caribbean and eventually found its way to the United States in the 1700s. The colonists in Jamaica loved to pickle and boil these little guys, and even Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States and a gherkin enthusiast, was a fan. With its long, beautiful vines and hundreds of tasty small fruits, this variety thrives in hot and humid conditions, out-yielding all other cucumbers. And the best part? It won't cross with your traditional cukes. Peace out!
