Raybo,
I've grown the Sweet Success for three years now. One of the best cukes I've ever grown. Everyone who has tried them, always have compliments about them. They produce well and like you said, thinned skin. I like to harvest mine a little smaller than what you have in the pics. One weekend last year, my wife and I had to be out of town for three days during the peak of growing season. I was amazed, how quickly the Sweet Success cucumbers matured and multiplied. I had a couple of those county fair winners hanging on the vine. That Five Pounder you have is huge. Looking at your pics I can see that you have lots of flowers and many more coming. These babies produce. Do you think that 5 lb. cuke would have gotten any bigger if you left it on the vine? Or supported it like they do cantaloupes. I kind of chuckle when I look at the pic of that 5 pounder. That is a lot of cucumber. Nice job.
