I am a cucumber enthusiast
I have bought seed of various open pollinated varieties.
My favourites are Kyoto and Tanja (Long varieties - 12 - 14 inches) - in our hot climate they bear shorter but thicker fruit. These varieties are however not resistant to any diseases.
I Also have Poinsett and Marketmore 76, both which are shorter varieties but resistant to a lot of diseases. These last two are ridge cucumbers but they can be trellised.
I would like to know the following:
1) Varieties that you recommend that will perform and be resistant to diseases (not bitter skin). I do not mind if it is ridge varieties. I want both standard and long varieties.
2) Open polinated tunnel cucumbers (English cucumbers). These I know will not be resistant to diseases.
I do not want any F1 hybrids. Those I can buy locally.
