cybrczch said:@frugalgramma, I used to grow Diva cucumbers, the plants always grew well and they did not seem to attract cucumber beetles, but they did not set fruits well for me most years. The only wilt resistant variety I have ever grown is County Fair hybrid, but it's a pickling variety and I don't make pickles that often. One other variety to look for is Marketmore 76, it is open pollinated and has a lot of disease resistance (but not wilt). I haven't grown it but friends have and they like it.


I have grown Marketmore 76 many times. It does come down with all sorts of cucumber diseases crap. But holds out longer than most around here.
