It’s important to keep harvesting the cukes in order for the plant to keep producing. It’s also easy to miss a cuke and all of a sudden have a giant one.
I like sweet pickle midgets, and hubby like the larger dills. That’s why I like homemade pickle brand, because you can pick them at all stages.
Also it’s important to process your pickles ASAP - course that is true of all produce.
I like the lemon cucumbers. They’re easier to see, especially on a trellis.
I only got cucumber seeds that are their best when small and their insides are proper to be crisp when canned. If I actually have cucumbers (and with me that is likely iffy since I have never grown “one” much less a bunch), I’m sure I will be sending you private Freepmail during the time I am canning them.
