AAS Winners
Jen, Krohn Conservator, Cincinnati, OH –
This cucumber just wouldn’t stop producing! I grew this plant mixed in with other AAS winners in a display garden. It grew up props, through other plants, and then trailed through a picket fence. Even in harsh conditions with minimal care, this cucumber was prolific. The cucumbers were extremely flavorful and had a very thin skin, so no peeling was required.
