Just had my second Suyo Long cucumber. Very good, no bitterness at all
and very long. Will be on my grow list again. My volunteer Staight Eights's
have bitter skin. Have to peel it to eat. Waiting on Phoona Kheera to produce
next, planted it late.

I'm growing the armenian cukes this year, they are amazing....gave some seeds to a friend in fla....she's ahead of me, those things are big, and she says the taste in wonderful, I can't wait for mine, I have a pickling cuke....no name, that I got from saved seed from Russia, was just telling someone today, that they are the most vigorous, productive picklin cukes I've ever seen....it's kinda weird almost, they grow almost uniformly...I have 12 plants and there are so many babies it is unbelievable....will be savin seed...oh and the flavor is mild, small seeds....great for pickles!

Diva has started producing even though it got a pretty late start here in South Texas. Its not in a great spot soil wise but is hanging in there even with the extremely high humidity we have been having. It has to be the smoothest tasting cuke I have tried to date. Burpless too

Diva is starting to crank them out now. I am impressed at how it is performing in the heat and not so good soil. I have even neglected it some and come home from work to find the plant severely wilted because of lack of water. It has perked back up each time and continued to produce.
I am having to water it almost like it was in a container even though it is unamended clay soil. Either way, it is a fighter for sure
