Thanks for the info. Earl
I'am going to make a copy of this post and put it in my cucumber file for next spring along with my varieties list.
This fall I'll pick up bales of straw and position them where
I plan to grow the cucumbers. If all goes well, all I will need to do in spring is to add soil, fertilizer, transplants
and the row cover. This will be great pickling cucks!
Plus it frees up more space in my garden beds for other
vegies.
This year i'am growing Sikkim cucumber. It's skin developes a very unique texture as it matures, looks like a rattlesnake's skin. Dark greenish brown with orangish under tones. very large for a cuck. picked my first ripe one yesterday. When I sliced it open it had a small hollow cavity inside. good flavor and crispy flesh. Definately have to grow them nrxt year.
Thanks again for the great information!
