I look forward to them next year!

Looks, smells and tastes like a regular cucumber to me.

Many many years ago,, my mom grew some cucumbers that someone gave her seeds. They called them Chinese cucumbers. They were about 2 to 3 inches in diameter, and grew about 2 feet long. They had to be hung on support, so to prevent ground contact. My understanding at that time,, the ground contact was not very ideal.

I look forward to trying them next year.
I have the ground that was my chicken coop for 12 years.

All BYC rules apply. Lets play nice. I am getting ready to celebrate another birthday. And it is getting harder for me to garden. There are ways to make things easier and still have good results. Let's talk about it!

Best design is tall walk in, the fencing surround will allow for vines plants to climb and eliminate tresses and cages. We currently have a fenced in raised bed area but will be changing it to a large scale design like this with a center island/work station after our new septic system is installed soon.

That first one has issues

The narrow spot is because the tendrils from another vine had wrapped around it very tightly.

Had it happen with a zucchini.
