Any advice on these strains?

[Gerardo]

Hello everyone:

Cucumbers are essential, and apart from the spacemaster, munchers, SuperZagross, Calypsos and National Pickling that are already growing, I decided to double down and get more.

These 5 arrived a few days ago and are germinating.

All from Baker Creek:

Delikatesse (a German Variety)
White Emerald (Thai)
Hoffman's Johanna aka Giganta (since it says "European variety" then I guess it must be fancy and cosmopolitan)
Sagami Hanjiro (Banzai!!!!!)
Richmond Green Apple (Aussie)

Anyone have any feelings pro/con about any of these guys? I appreciate all your input. Thanks!

EDIT:

I have never grown any you mentioned except National Pickling and it was super productive. I want to grow Metki Armenian cucumber next year. It is actually a melon, but tastes like a cuke. I read it tolerates the heat better. Have you ever tried that Gerardo?

Nat Pic has been very productive for me too. I've been meaning to try one of those melons/cukes. I'll include one in the next batch.

I'm hoping for a long growing season, but with the augurs-haruspicy and weather satellites all hinting at El Ñino, it's probably going to be too wet come wintertime.

I hope the weather is in your favor.
I found seed for Metki White Armenian Cucumber at Lowe's this weekend. You might find seed locally for that one.

Very cool, next time I'm at Lowe's I'll give it a shot.
