What is your favorite canning variety of cucumber ?

Currently using Arkansas Little Leaf.
Heirloom variety a must , wondering about other options.

Fresh table use not as important as pickling performance.
Blight resistance a plus .
Anyone have suggestions of a variety of cucumber to try ?

I've had pretty good luck with Homemade Pickles

What variety do you grow ? Thx.

Ive had good luck with boston picking cucumber.

Straight 8's

English cucumbers are good if you want a thinner skinned pickle

Try to get seeds for them .
Was a time I grew them in my garden , but never let any go to seed .
It's almost impossible to get seeds now .

I'm under the impression he's looking to grow some in his garden for pickling .

Chicago pickling cucumber from bakers creek.

Homemade Pickles. That's the variety I grow, LOL

Can’t wait ! Bread and Buttah !

National Pickling is my preferred cultivar.

Hey warrior so I don't have to search a bunch of posts for it, what was that purple pole bean you mentioned awhile back called?

Louisiana Purple Pod

Has anyone ever tried Wautoma cucumber for pickling. A friend of mine worked with USDA developing this cucumber and said the whole pickle will be crisp. Ive had problems with pickles being soft in ctr but crisp on skin.

Thanks
A couple of good suggestions to look at.
Ordered some seed to try.

RdFx ;
Interesting read on these . I'm looking into some seed to try

I've always quartered into spears to avoid that. But I'll definitely look onto that one.

The other way I want to try is lime pickles. I eaten them and like them but never put them up for myself.

We've had good luck with National Pickling.

They breed true so you can save seed without worry. Though they do throw a green sport. Every year I'll have one vine per 100' row that'll be green in vine and pod. The pod being somewhat flatter kind of like a ky wonder. Never saved seed of that one but it still pops up from time to time.

Maybe I should and see what I get.

SMR 58 are good for pickles and also eating.

I have done Chicago Pickling, Pick a Bushel that have worked well for me. Two years ago I started putting up a mesh trellis that allowed the vines to grow up instead of out on the ground. Easier picking, easier to find and by hanging an not laying on the ground the cucumbers stay much straighter also. I try to pick most of mine when they are very small. The largest I let them go is about 2 inches in diameter to make my bread and butter pickles. I to have not been able to put up firm dills using the canning methods I have used. I get much better firmness when I do the refrigerator dills, so I do more of those.
