Just a big thank you for all the info on Sweet Success cucumbers. I was reluctant to spend so much $$ for them, but knew they'd be wonderful. I bought 2 pkgs. w/18 seeds in each, and out of the 36 planted, 20 plants germinated.
They're just now fruiting and taste wonderful. I had the first cuke picked for lunch today, and have a dozen waiting their turn for another meal. Predictions are that I won't be able to keep up with production but . . Pickle time will come soon enough. Thanks for the recommendation. So far I'm very pleased with these cucumbers since Mother Nature forced a very late planting date. I'm hoping to keep one cuke for seeds. We'll see if the field mice allow this! |

Glad to hear you are happy with this variety. Jung Seed has the best price of about $21.00 for 100 seeds:

Thanks for the link. Much easier to order the larger amount than save cukes.
My flowers look lighter than yellow - maybe a pale, pale yellow. |

These are Hybrid cukes, so saving seeds is a crap-shoot.
The flowers turn from yellow to white as the cukes develop. Raybo ![]() |

Very true, but I always like to experiment. It may only be a one-time thing, but I just 'have' to try. -The flowers turn from yellow to white as the cukes develop.- Nice to know that, though I've only seen the pale yellow ones. |
