Tracy, I wonder why it takes such a high temp before you get female blossoms?
And it is very productive in cool climates as in my zone 5 in upstate NY. So many cukes I can't keep up and the same for Suyo Long which is another fave for me.
Actually any cuke variety I plant up here does superbly. There are two new ones I'm trying this year in addition to my always Armenian ones so we'll see how they like this cool weather and it's raining again right now.
I'm really pleased b/c since I moved here in 1999 after I retired I haven't seen ONE striped or spotted cuke beetle and that's indeed good news.
