Looking for large cucumbers?
My Dad used to make Sweet Lime Pickles which I found the recipe for. The one thing I remember is that he cubed the cukes instead of slices and he used old, huge, yellowing cukes. He said "the bigger the better." I remember them being at least 12"+ long and pretty fat.
I do remember they were peeled with no seeds and the cubes were 3/4" to 1" square. So they had to be fairly large if peeled and seed cavity removed.
I am sure he didnt use some rare type of cuke. Probably just Straight 8's or Marketmore.
I am wanting to plant some next year and was wondering if anyone has some suggestions on types that get huge.
