good size, good flavor

by

the biggest plant we have is starting to fruit. keeping my eye on the pickle patch, looking for cucumber beetles and pruning opportunities. so far so good!

Huge yields. Disease and pest resistant cucumbers for pickling

by

I had great success with these last summer. Huge 7’ vines that were literally covered with cukes! I grew them on a 12’ long cattle panel, spaced seeds 3” apart. Produced all summer! I had plenty of cucumbers to preserve 22 quarts of pickles and had ample left to share with neighbors all summer! Very productive, crispy, Disease and pest resistant.

Amazing Cucumbers

by

The flavor is wonderful. They have been prolific producers. I currently have 14 day pickles down and they have held up well to the process. I have also done sour pickle and refrigerator dill. All have turned out perfect. This will be the only seed I plant for cucumbers going forward.

Best Pickling Cuke

by

I have had this pickling cucumber in my garden for three years in a row now, and it's the only one I'll grow. Prolific, hardy, crisp. They produced right up until the end of the season and I picked almost daily. Yum!
