I'll grow them again next year, that's for sure.<br /><br />Thyme, You have to read the information on them carefully, but there are a LOT of bush cucumbers and even a few vining pickling cucumbers. <br /><br />Daphne....the "Always" was most certainly implied, have no doubt of that. ;)Ribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460673212389110633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-18752995196693900352010-09-30T20:44:29.256-04:002010-09-30T20:44:29.256-04:00I decided that I'm only growing pickling cucum...I decided that I'm only growing pickling cucumbers from now on.

They do great and it doesn't take much to keep them on the trellis.

I trellis the Sweet Success english style cukes (all female blossoms and self pollinating), but by the end of July the vines crisp up no matter how much water. By gum! Next year I'll start picklers in July for August, maybe Sept feasting. You just can't <i>have</i> too many cukes! :-DKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-82769451999218038922010-09-30T08:03:51.147-04:002010-09-30T08:03:51.147-04:00Tell that to my husband - that I'm always righ...Tell that to my husband - that I'm always right, not about the cukes though he wouldn't care. Oh wait you didn't say "always". Darn.<br /><br />But I do love my pickling cukes. The only time I've tried any other kind in the last decade has been last year when I tried Armenian cukes (though technically it is melon not a cuke) for the first time. They couldn't handle our wet and cold weather, but the pickling cukes eked out a small harvest for me. Even in the year of slug death.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-72434214872454922692010-09-30T06:01:54.506-04:002010-09-30T06:01:54.506-04:00Hi ribbit, the bush type will do fine climbing a f...Hi ribbit, the bush type will do fine climbing a fence or trellis they will weave on there own.
