I grew these one summer in Florida; I had a post about them and my 3 plants produced 330 cukes in 7 weeks.

What I found for storing, was not to wash and wrap them in saran-type wrap. I saw how they were wrapped at the supermarket for organic cukes and they charge $2 each.
I also sometimes put several of the wrapped cucumbers in another zip-tie bag or plastic top container. Their shelf life this way is really decent.

Also read for cukes in general pick in the AM before it gets hot and leave a little stem on it.

I never had any wrinkling on cucumbers. Sometimes they would get shoved in the back of the fridge drawer and go bag/soupy. If you have composting worms, they love the ones that go bad.
