I am gathering my first cucumbers this week and discovered by accident that those that are bitter are only bitter on one end - the other end is still sweet and good. The stem end seems to be the most bitter, and in some the bitterness goes all the way through that first bulge on the stem side.
Nearly all my cukes this week are bitter (even small ones) but I was able to salvage them by tasting both ends and cutting chunks off the stem end til I got past the bitter part. So... no whole pickles but we'll still get to have homemade pickles in chunks! I hope this will help someone else.
