French Cornichons are the world's tiniest sweet pickles, loved by foodies everwyhere. Gherkins are very tiny - only 2", with a zappy sweet taste. The French can't live without them. Americans can't find the seeds. Small plants produce hundreds of tiny cukes. Harvest them at 2" for pickling or wait a couple more weeks for slicers. At either size, they're tart, nubby and crunchy. 50-60 days. Germination:Thoroughly moisten your seed-starting mix, and then fill your pots/containers to within 1/2" of the top. Place two or three seeds into each small container or each cell of a seed starter. Cover the seed with about 1/4" of soil.Water to ensure good seed-to-mix contact. You can use a plant mister or just dribble a stream of water over the top. You don't need to soak the soil, just moisten the top layer. (You don't want to heavily water and "push" seeds to deep that they can't germinate.)Keep the mix moist but not soaking wet. Lay some plastic kitchen wrap and a rubber band over pots to keep
