OK, I used to grow Sweet Slice and loved it. Bought it from Park Seed.

This year, Park said they'd discontinued Sweet Slice and were offering Sir Crunch a Lot instead.

So, I gave it a try this year.
Big, lush vines. Only female flowers.
And the taste? Mmmmm, OK. Nothing special in a a "burpless" slicer.
And the yield? Oh, come on. Only two cukes per plant and the vines seem to have fizzled out for production, and it's only late June.
Next time I think I'll seek out Sweet Slice again, or try Sugar Crunch (Burpee) which was a smaller cuke but more productive and pretty tasty too.
