Trellising the vines allows for good air circulation, takes up less space, and provides shade for heat sensitive crops like lettuce. They benefit from growing on black plastic and by using row covers for weed, insect control, and more rapid growth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pinetree Garden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":440965169160,"sku":"00136","price":2.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/6282\/files\/national-pickling-cucumber-52-days-vegetables-pinetree-garden-seeds-485.jpg?v=1761329772","url":"https:\/\/www.superseeds.mom\/products\/national-pickling-cucumber-52-days","provider":"Pinetree Garden Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
