Jang,
Brown does not equate to 'ripe to eat'. The best stage for eating is like the two green smaller cucumbers in my picture. I think (well hope) dark brown means 'seed ripe'. The nearly full sized cucumber that is slightly turning brown, is also good eating, and still has immature seeds that do not need to be removed. At this stage the variety could perhaps benefit from peeling, but we have not needed to. I have not looked inside the fully brown one and it is the first time I have been growing this variety. Fingers crossed for mature seeds inside. But I will leave it to mature further before cutting and extracting seeds.
This variety is very sweet, seeds are developing quite slowly and I have not had a hint of 'burp back'. They are different from ordinary cucumbers.

Talking of Adam , I do not have enough for the circle , but I do have 2 seeds of Syrian cucumber and six seeds of Syrian courgette if anyone fancies .... He is local and when he can attend the seed swap is always interesting .

I can see why you have quite a lot of AA varieties, Markfield Rover. Great!
If no-one else takes you up on your offer of Syrian cucumber seeds I’d appreciate them.
Thanks for the description of the growth habit of Zanzibar cucumber, Galina. It sounds intriguingly different. Your fully brown fruit looks very promising for mature seed. Fingers crossed.

Good question, Ruud. The simple answer is the sooner the better. If you have them ready, please send. I’ll pm everyone the details.
We also need a cutoff time and I’d welcome feedback on this. Looking back, the latest date to post over the last few years has been in January or even February. What does anyone feel about moving this forward? December of course means packets getting embroiled in the Christmas logjam. Is near the end of November too early for people? Some seed of course might struggle to be ready that soon so do let me know what works best for you.

Late Nov is fine for me, too. Like an early Xmas package... a seedy Advent calender if you will... a bit of a stretch?

An Advent calendar,that keeps on giving , you’ve given the likes of T&M food for thought (literally) Dragons Den!! When I receive the parcel I’ve been known to circle it for at least a week waiting for the right moment .

Sorry it is too early for mature seed from Courgette Golden Marbre and for the cucumber Zanzibar, maybe next year.
We have:

Grown on the edge of the Lincolnshire Fens by our donor’s father since the 1940s, these prolific and bushy “knee high” plants produce beautiful mauve flowers and striking flat, green pods with purple striping. Best as young, tender pods, when they are delicious steamed, though the dried beans have a great flavour and meaty texture.

Thanks Galina. A great selection, and thanks to you and to everyone for being happy to adjust to an earlier exchange by the end of the month. I hope that seed returns will make a pleasant early Christmas present at a time when other pleasures might be thinner on the ground than usual.
I've sent out PMs with details. Let me know if any problems. Looking forward to some exciting exchanges as we enter the gloms of winter and Lockdown Two!

Thanks Galina. Looking forward! And yes, a very exciting range. Markfield Rover’s seed already arrived a couple of days ago - very quick off the mark!
