| Fruit is like a thick pickling cucumber. Mild taste, decent yield, slightly thicker skin and bigger seeds than smaller varieties. |

| Plant this if you want a massive amount of cucumbers! These are large and plentiful cucumbers that continue to produce fruit from July through September. 4 plants have produced hundreds of cucumbers that explode in size, seemingly overnight. Taste made these fall short on the mark for us, because they get so big so quickly we often had bitter cucumbers. These were best suited for pickling, which also often was difficult because of the seeds in the larger cucumbers. Overall score is 4 due to taste. |

| Our single plant grew enormous and produced lots of cucumbers, at least 80. Testers like the flavor and smallish seed area. Even the large ones had skin that was not too bitter. At the end of the season the plant got powdery mildew, to be expected for a cucumber. |
