My Cukes This Year

rnewste · August 6, 2010

First time ever growing cukes in EarthTainers. I selected 2 varieties: Burpee Burpless and Diva (Duane, thanks for the seeds!).

The plants are doing really well, producing multiple cukes per week. Here are the Burpless:

And the Divas:

They seem to be getting larger as the Season progresses:

Overall, while both are great, I do prefer the taste and crispness of the Divas:

Divas are now weighing in at 17 to 18 ounces. I'm really looking to make some B&B pickles later this Fall. So far, no pest or disease problems with the cukes.
