Reliable and flavorful

Great production and flavor. We ate fresh and made pickles and relish.
Larger than expected
by myd
Impressive. Vine is larger than I expected. However, it is very healthy and first cucumber plant to produce this year. I am very happy with it
Maryland, growing in raised bed, intensive (square foot gardening)
I plan to grow it next year and plan for more space.
A must cucumber for every garden!
by Brian Hanft
Amazing! I love this variety because it doesn’t take over my garden. The cucumbers are outstanding. Highly recommend.
Long Vines

Ended up with very long vines - up to 6-7' and expected them to be smaller!
