Some of the best tasting and largest cucumbers I have ever grown. 8 seeds I planted September 1st and I’m harvesting now in florida. I’ll probably pick at least 30 or 40 cucumbers when I’m done. I hope to try and save seeds and replant feb 1st and March 1st and see heirloom seeds work. Thank you St Claire heirloom seeds!!!
