last time i grew cucmbers, i wasn’t that impressed with the taste – the skin was bitter, so in order to have a decent tasting cuke, you had to peel it before eating. i picked one tonight from my garden and tasted it before cutting it up for my salad tomorrow. the skin is actually sweet! i was kind of hesitant to get these because they are specifically pickling cukes, but i am totally impressed with the taste! 
now i’m just hoping i get a bucketload of them so i can make a crapton of pickles!
