i'm always looking for bw cukes. i grow county fair but it is hard to find and i end up paying for s&h for 1 packet of seeds.

in the 2010 shumway catalog they list a cuke called calypso that is recommended if you have problems with bw. it's a hybrid pickler like county fair which i find is a good eating cuke. there probably are better tasting cukes but when the plant shuts down after producing for 2 weeks and dies i have to take what i get even if there are better cukes. all that siad i think county fair is a good eating cuke.

anyone ever grow calypso?

anyone aware of any other bw cukes?

i grow organicly on a trellis. i won't use pesticides and you can't cover an a-frame trellis that is 7' tall that has pole beans on the other side.
