This variety of cucumber called “Bushy Cucumis sativus,” which is a great option for gardeners with limited space. This compact bush-type cucumber plant takes up less space than standard vining varieties, making it perfect for container gardening or small garden beds.

If you’re pickling the cucumbers, you’ll have a steady supply of fresh fruit for your jars.

The “Bushy Cucumis sativus” variety typically comes with around 30 seeds per packet. This should be enough to start a small garden or a few containers, allowing for a good yield of cucumbers for pickling. With this number of seeds, you could either sow them all for a larger harvest or plant them in stages for continuous harvesting throughout the season.

If you’re growing them in containers, you might consider starting with 2-3 seeds per container and thinning them out later to ensure each plant has enough space to thrive.
