    I saw these cucumbers listed at Baker Creek Heirloom seeds so decided to try them. So first year growing them for me. I am not impressed so last year growing them for me.

    These are smaller cucumbers which do have tender skin and are quite tasty. Still they seem to be set upon by all sorts of bugs and pests so end up with lots of blemishes and bruising. I like a nicer looking fruit although the scarred skin does not affect the taste.
