| This year one of the new vegetables I'm trying are cucumbers and they are doing great. I have already picked 4 from the vine and have 4 more that are starting to grow. These are Straight Eight cucumbers and I have 4 plants against the fence with my roses which faces South east. The largest cucumber is 11". How big can the Straight eight grow?

| So pretty growing among the flowers there. Lordy, what do you do with a cucumber that large? Slice and eat? As someone perpetually trying to lose weight, I use cucumbers in place of crackers. That would make some pretty hefty crackers! |

| Loribee, I use radishes for chips. Nick, those are awesome ! |

| Deeby, I've never tried radishes. I'd love an excuse to grow them. |

| I slice them and lightly sea salt. All the flavor, crunch, and saltiness and no carbs. Great with a sandwich. |

| I have found that if you make pickles with any cucumber whatsoever, cut up in any way whatsoever, people will claim you are a culinary genius. This is a great freedom! |

| Nick, how was the flavor? Sure great for the first planting. |

| It tasted great, much better then the grocery bought ones. I did nothing special, just fertilizer some compost and watering once a week. |
