This year we tried a new (to us) variety of cucumber. I wanted a mini type that would be good for lunch boxes. This one was said to be great for small cucumbers, and would grow on a small plant.

| Not them in their best light - this is the end of the season and these would have been for seed saving had I thought they were worth saving. |
They grew pretty well, making very compact plants. However the cucumbers didn't go down very well with the children, this was because they had bitter skins.
I know I could have isolated the male flowers, but the plants were such a short tight compact mess that it was impossible. The children did eat them when peeled, but that hardly made them good for lunch boxes.
Not one we'll be growing again.
