But, here, in Virginia, mid-late summer, local weather and micro climate prevents us from enjoying cukes pretty much pass August. They wilt and die in the matter of days.
So, to extend my growing season, in additional of my regular favorites, I'm adding few that are said to be resistant to most diseases. So, after a little research, and suggestions from other gardeners, here is the list of cukes to be grown in 2010:
The Regulars:
Boston Pickling
Homemade Pickling
Poona Kheera
Straight Eight
Resistant Hybrids:
Country Fair
Calypso
Classy
Eureka
Burpless II
Edmonson
Little Leaf H-19
Looking forward to trial those newbies to see if their "resistance" lives up to the expectations and just as important - do they taste good???
