Positive	grrrlgeek	On Sep 12, 2009, grrrlgeek from Grayslake, IL (Zone 5a) wrote: Great little cukes, no bitterness, thin tender skin. Even when left on the plant until they're a little yellow on the ends they have small seeds and don't need to be peeled. Will of course climb on anything they touch-I've given them a few corkscrew supports, sunflowers, and zinnias to latch onto.
