Best mini cucumber variety

Grubbypaws · « **on:** August 14, 2024, 13:17 »

I grew mini cucumbers this year and they have been a real hit with the family. I grew Picolino F1 which I bought as plug plants but next year I will grow them from seed. Is this a good variety to stick with or is there a better variety to grow? Has any one got a variety that they can recommend?

I have had lots of success with La Diva, Mini Munch and also Beit Alpha.

Correct. It isn't a mini cucumber, standard size.

Marketmore?

Outdoor ridge cucumber, best eaten at about 7 inches, and tops for flavour and reliability.

Old school - and all the better for it!

Hi. We've always grown standard type cucumber in the g/house but had a total failure last year :mad:so tried Mini Munch this year. I set 1 seed in a large trug & it's gone mad

the wife & I use about 4 each week but it's grown so well we've given away about 28 & it's still got plenty growing

so you can guess what we'll grow next year. Highly recommend Mini Munch.

Grown La-Diva for donkey years. Always found it reliable with bags of fruit.
