| I've grown Sweet Success for 5 years and never had one bitter cuc. Always sweet, vigorous and prolific. The foot-long cucs have a small central core containing relatively small seeds. One very humid summer the plants developed leaf spots but still yielded well. |

| Everyone I give these cukes to loves them and asks what they are. They are a big producer and are huge, sweet, burpless and average between ten and fourteen inches. They taste their best when you don't let them get too fat in diameter. Very few seeds. |

| Excellent yields of huge cukes. My kids eat them up. Seeds a bit pricy relative to others. |

| Follow up of my earlier review: in mid-September I planted 4 varieties in 5-gallon containers: Sweet Success, Salad Bush, Suyo and Diva. They were productive in that order. Salad Bush did very well but eventually succumbed to powdery mildew, which did not affect the other varieties. Sweet Success was the standout. On January 1, it is still producing, while all other varieties are long gone. |

| I planted 4-5 different varieties this year and this one was the stand-out. Germinated at almost 100% and was fast to take off even if I may have planted a "tad" early. Plants held up great even in the presence of cucumber beetles. Great fresh taste as well. I will definitely grow this one again. |

| In mid-September I planted Diva, Suyo, and Sweet Success in 5-gallon pots, two seedlings (grown from seed) to a pot. In mid-October, all are thriving, but Sweet Success is a standout. It is growing on a 4-foot trellis and has almost reached the top. As it is gynoecious, every one of its many flowers produces a self-pollinated cucumber, the largest of which is now about 3 inches long. I expect to start harvesting in a couple of weeks. |

| I planted it in the garden without support and had a great crop of crispy, dark green, tasty, burpless cucumbers. So far, the best harvest of any burpless cuke I've had. |
