I tried a new variety of cucumber this year.  Simone gave me a Chelsey’s Prize seedling.  It has grown very well in the greenhouse and I have harvested two large thin cucumbers so far this year.   They were great!  Just like the ones I’ve been purchasing at the grocery.  Not all cukes have developed and matured.  A large group on the same plant did not develop and turned brown while still very small.  Will have to keep an eye on them and see what develops.

I did not grow, but taste tested another cucumber that Simone grows in her greenhouse that I enjoyed very much.   Its called ‘Green Fingers.’  The cukes are intended to be harvested while small and the ones I tried were very crisp and tasty, no bitterness at all. 

Both these varities were purchased from Renee’s Garden.
