Positive	NicoleC	On Mar 28, 2013, NicoleC from Madison, AL (Zone 7b) wrote: Very productive, even with slug, squash bug and striped cucumber beetle damage. Excellent taste for fresh eating without any bitterness and also works well for fermented or refrigerator pickles. BWB bath pickles taste good but are too soft. Fruit are best at 4-5" long. I now succession plant this one since fruit quality declines for me after about 6 weeks of harvest.
