Here is a pic of a few of my cucumbers. They are doing great.

Very nice. I grew them last year, but lost my seeds or something, so this year it's only the long english burpless. If I remember right, they took forever to start, and the skin was undesirably tough, unless picked young. I try to eat the skin or peel as much as possible on all my fruits and veggies as it usually has the most nutrients. Those were definitely better peeled.

HMK, Those things look weird for a cucumber, but after reading some of your posts and how you eat them like apples, I bought a pack of seeds for my fall planting. I hope I like them. I also will plant the Straight Eight cucumbers.
How many fruit do you get per vine? How long do they remain productive?
