I love growing this cucumber. It is very prolific and the cucumbers are great tasting. Can eat skin and all, even if they get big, still tastes wonderful.
This makes life simpler for those of us with sensitive guts that could kill us if we eat nuts, seeds, Bean skin or the like.
Trying the Striped Organic Cucumber for the first time. I will give you a review after they grow and I eat one. My criteria for Cukes has to be, less seeds, prolific, crisp and tasty...
Very prolific plant that produces cucumbers that can be eaten skin and all. They are best eaten when the cucumber is small about 8 inches long. Very crispy and a good keeper in the fridge.
This is the first time I've ever had a cucumber survive a hot Texas summer... and these plants have produced sweet, crisp cucumbers all summer long with very little care. So delicious.

from 9166 reviewsI grow flats of this for my pet pigs, because of the high nutritional content. They love it. I find them waiting at the growing location every afternoon waiting for their fave. I've grown beautiful flats of pea sprouts and alfalfa for them too, but they turn up their snouts and walk away.
