This morning's cucumbers. They would not meet with the approval of Mr Juncker's mates in Brussels but they will taste a lot better than anything in the shops. The funny thing is, I don't eat them! My wife does and they also make welcome gifts to those of our friends who do like them. Plenty more to come.
Like you I do not like them. I used to grow them for my daughter but she does not like spines on them and thinks my ones taste too much, she likes the tasteless supermarket ones. I grow them now because I can, and just use them as swaps.
I always grow socrates cues they are about 6/8 ins long but they are slightly fatter than the long ones and they do not have spines for which I am grateful, they also crop well
a few of mine
Picked my first five cucumbers today! Burpless Green Tasty - they don't make varietal names like that anymore!
