These Are My New FAVORITE Pickling Cucumbers [With Pickle Recipe!]

In this video, I share an incredible pickling cucumber that produces huge yields! The ‘H-19 Little Leaf Cucumber’ was developed in 1991 by University of Arkansas and is sometimes called ‘Arkansas Little Leaf.’ It is gynoecious and parthenocarpic, meaning it produces only female flowers and requires no pollination to hold fruit to maturity, so they can be grown indoors or under insect netting. The disease resistant, dwarfing vines are compact, making it the perfect cucumber variety for growing cucumbers in containers. These are my new favorite cucumber plants for growing pickling cucumbers!

Add more/less/no garlic based on your preference, use more/less/no hot peppers based on spice tolerance, substitute sweet peppers for hot peppers if you want pepper flavor but no heat, add additional herbs or spices based on your flavor preferences, etc. I do not measure the seeds or peppercorns and just eyeball it.
