Cuke


Beyond impressed with this variety of cucumber, Organic Straight Eight. We grew Marketmore 76 last year, another really popular variety, and were very impressed with that variety also. I wanted to change things up this year and am really glad I did, cause these guys are grocery store material. I picked this one before it got too big for fresh eating and will let some of the others get a little longer for making relish and preserves. I have been saving a lot of seeds this year and will try saving some seeds from these cucumbers to plant next year. My pumpkins i grew this year were all from saved seeds and their performance is vigorous to say the very least.
