Hi-just wondered if anyone has tried growing these and how they did/taste etc?

Not sure what you mean. I grow cukes for pickling every year and do some of them Polish style, but I don't know a seed called Polish?

Can you give some more info.

It's Yellow Zuzzini ??

[Jeannine]

Hi, do you have the packet still. I am thinking it is yellow zucchini not zuzzini. Zucchini is what we call courgette in North America ,a  type of summer squash,and a picture of a yellow one might look like a yellow cucumber.

If it is a yellow zucchini (courgette) there are a few different names and I like them for same uses as the green ones  again many different names and we all have our favourites. Is there any other names on the packet,even if it sounds foreign I might be able to help.

I do have yellow cucumbers but they area very pale yellow and are Chinese, another yellow one is round so am presuming it is not that.

If it is zucchini it is sometimes  referred to as zuzzini, I see it in recipes . I don't know why some folks call it that.

If you are looking for a good cucumber for pickling Polish style I prefer one called Cool Breeze as it is very early and has good disease resistance.

If you can tell me more of what is on the packet I can help you better.
