I grew mine up a trellis and they grew about 5 feet tall.

They're an Indian variety. They're quite sweet and not bitter at all. They start pale yellow and then start to turn orange. Pick them before they get brown (which can happen in as little as a day and a half from first color change).

Thanks Feldon! Did it hold true to about 60 days?
Sigh. I have a lot of work to do this winter building more containers for next year...

James sorry to hear your tomatoes were damaged but the picture sure shows some great looking (even the damaged) plants. You should be having tomatoes shortly.

My own fault - should have had the extensions on! They taped up fine, only lost one small branch. Looks to be a week to 2 weeks away from 1st harvest....

I'm sure you are harping at the bit to get a taste... with a nice looking group of plants like that I would be hard press each day waiting for that first one...LOL

I'm growing double yield cucumbers this year, reportly to give exponential yields, lol. Pickling type cukes. The plants just started to really take off and are totally loaded with flowers so I'm pscyhed because I saw a bunch of baby cucumbers today!

James, your plants look great to me, great job on the containers. The two I have now have plants spilling out of them, what a mess.

Making a note to look at Rocky hybrid per Damon as well......[/QUOTE]

Yes, for seed saving purposes. There is another legendary Turkish variety, Cengelkoy, which is an heirloom that I am currently growing. Hopefully, I will be able to save some seeds.

I am so glad I ordered the Iznik seeds. I transplanted on March 15, 2014 and already have baby cucumbers on the vine. I could never grow regular cucumbers here in Las Vegas because i couldn't get the fruit pollinated. (We hardly have any bees) Then when I was looking at the seed catalogs this year and found out about the self-pollinating squash and cucumbers I was so excited. Thank you for the wonderful review.
