Cucumber reviews

These grew bitter for me. I believe that might be more my fault than the cukes. It was a terribly dry summer.

This is my favorite cucumber to grow for pickling. It is fairly easy to grow in Zone 9b, as long as you provide ample water and sunlight. It is very prolific and has a long period of harvest.

In Zone 9b these can be sown directly in the ground in Feb. I space them about 4" apart and then trellis them once the are 6" long. They are excellent for baby dill pickles when picked about 3"- 4".

Didn’t do very well under these conditions (greenhouse container) compared with the prolific cropping outdoors last year when it was worthy of 5 stars.

Probably started too late. Got few sml ones. First attempt, try again

Really very pleased with this heirloom variety. 100% germination. Grows quickly and produces a lot of tasty cucumbers which are the perfect size to be included in 1 or 2 individual salads.

This is by far my favorite cucumber! Of all the varieties I have tried this is the one that my family likes the best.

Extremely early. Hearty. Vigorous. Yummy. I will plant more of these this year. Definitely on the “Yes” list.

Prolific. Tasty. Hearty. Vigorous. I only gave it 4 stars, because this variety of lemon cucumber didn’t have quite the taste I wanted. It could have been my soil. But, on the whole, extremely edible. Not for people who like “seedless” cucumbers.

These are wonderful. Prolific, easy to grow, beautiful, and oh so tasty. Sweet w/ no after-burp. Drawback seemed to be short shelf-life in the fridge; they dried out and shriveled if left in there for more than a day or two. Not a problem since I ate

Basic green cucumber. Good smell! OK taste. Best eaten within three days of picking. Prolific and easy to tend. Had plenty to share with the neighbors since I was eating mostly Lemon Cucumbers instead.

First time I’ve grown it – fast growing , prolific and disease free. Delicious, tender fruits raw or pickled. A hit with all the family. Definitely one for next year.

Very poor performance, no disease. Maybe I didn’t treat them right but won’t be growing them again.

Very poor yield, compared to other varieties grown. Fruit are small and misshapen, do not fill out completely. Long growing time.

Produced 4 edible cucumbers, which isn’t a lot seeing as this is supposed to be a high yield variety. I know cucumbers are difficult to grow, but lost 3 out of 4 plants early on and then only one survived to produce very little. May try a different vari

Good yield, nice large fruits were harvested. Many more than we could use.

Surprisingly prolific for a relatively small plant (2’ accross & 3’ tall trellised) grown in a container. 1 produced enough for 2 people fresh eating and some pickling. Cukes 5" long.

good yield so far and battling well against stinkbugs

The one I was able to harvest tasted quite good. I would rate it above the marketmores I planted last year, although the size of it isn’t convenient for our needs.

I suggest letting this plant climb like it wants to…it will get more complete sun and saves you some garden space!

In 3 seasons of growing this I was always disappointed: not terribly productive, the taste was nothing special, and even when trellised the shapes were inconsistent. Not worth the extra $ in my book.

Didn’t produce many cucumbers but that was mainly my fault. Grown in a too crowded cooler with a tomato and strawberries.

Very attractive and performs well in NC summer, but prone to powdery mildew and many insect attacks (as many cucurbits are.) Nice flavour, especially for fresh eating.

After a slow start this kept fruiting for about 4 months and was still going when I pulled it out. Pretty, med sized yellow fruit kept well & tasty but does have big seeds.

3+ Good producer – worth replanting here
