This is a good pickling cucumber. The vines grew full to cover and shade the fruits. The cucumbers grew to a good size in a short amount of time. I would check under the vines about once a week to take a picking. I made both dill and sweet pickles from them and they tasted great! They also kept well for several days before I could get to the pickle making.
