| Excellent, sweet, juicy cucumbers. Vines grew well, even in small 2-gallon containers. Produced all season long, even up to end of October and some still waiting to be harvested. |

| I grew cross country as a slicer and it was outstanding.
I picked them at 4-5 inches and the seeds were very
small and with a sweet taste. The cukes grow very straight and are extremely firm with an interesting
pimply skin. This is all I will grow next year. |
