Good all around cucumber
by BCHS
Love these cucumbers. I use the smaller ones for canning, and the larger ones have great flavor. This is the only variety that hasn’t given me bitter cucumbers in our soil.

Superhero cucumbers

These are incredibly prolific and disease free here in eastern Kansas. Planted five of these and five Japanese Climbers on a trellis in pretty poor soil. The JCs were very good, but the Edmonsons were like Jack-in-the-Beanstalk magnificent. Odd looking but great taste. They kept squeezing out cucumbers after everything else had given up the ghost in fall.
