| Planted these in 2008 and had fairly decent luck with them. Taste was good, but yield was so-so. Do not produce all summer. In 2009, I had a half dozen plants and they were a total disappointment. Very few cukes; small and curled for the most part. I would not plant these again. |

| I chose this variety of cucumber because of lack of space in my garden. Unfortunately all of my plants were killed by the cucumber beetle and the wilt that it spreads. Before that happened, though, I did harvest a crop of cucumbers (15-20 cucumbers from 3 plants). They tasted great as refrigerator pickles! |
