Planted 5/16/17. Crowded out of original space, transplanted to location peas were in did not have a chance to thrive. Unfair review, normally when there is enough room this is a reliable variety.

long (7 1/2 in.) and smooth. looks to me that they belong in a store. They just continued to produce rapidly on the ground or in a mound. There taste isn't that much different than a standered cucumber though.

I tried spacemaster as both a container plant (10" terra cotta pots) and a trellised garden plant. I saw slightly less yield than other cukes I've tried, but overall it was an excellent selection for containers.
