I have Burpee pickler growing now, tendrils just starting to form. In the last two days I have sown; Yellow Submarine, Cool Breeze and Poona Kheera. What are you guys growing as far as cukes this spring?

This year I'll grow Boston Pickling, Lemon and Poona Kheera. I may talk myself into revisiting Boothby's Blonde.
New this year (if the seeds arrive) is Jaune Dickfleischige. |

I'll be growing White Stallion cuke (New Dimension Seeds) and Poona Kheera. Last year I enjoyed growing Sikkim, and I highly recommend it for taste and novelty!

I grew this last year and had the most fun sharing the experience. Next time I'll save some seeds!

I have just two:
Lemon Greek They germinated quickly. This is my second try at growing them but last summer wasn't warm at all so I am hoping for all my plants that this summer will be great. Sue |

gardenfrog is right, my cucs are still just little bitty things, they won't be ready for a "spell."
