Order it again and again
Reviewed By: Emma (Summerville, SC)
We get this cucumber every single year and it never fails us. We get bushels and bushels of large (look like store-bought) perfect cucumbers off of each plant. We used to live up north, but since we've moved to the south, we've discovered that our plants are giving us cucumbers well into January(despite some frosts). They take only a few days to start from seed. Love em love em LOVE EM!!!

VERY good
Reviewed By: Sheila (White Lake, MI)
Used these to make pickles and Sweet relish - VERY satisified with the results - especially the relish. Easy to process with a slicer, canned product kept very well 3 years later. (Why did they wait so long to use it ???!!??)

The Best Cucumber!
Reviewed By: Sabrina (Murrayville, Georgia)
I have never seen a cucumber plant have so many blooms in my life. The plants are huge and loaded. The cucumbers are DE-LISH!!! Will buy this seed again.
