We really like Bush Champion in our hightunnels.  Great production and good tasting.  It gets a lot larger in the tunnels than outdoors.  Last year, we also grew Sweet Success and the customers loved it.

Hi All,

Last year I asked about sources for greenhouse cucumbers.  Carmen was suggested to me, and I tried them.  They are great.  What I am looking for this year is a good source for regular size slicing cukes that are suitable for the greenhouse.  My customers like the long English type, but also like the slicing cukes.  I have grown Socrates from Johnny's, but would like to find another source for the future.  I used to grow Diva in the greenhouse but they are not labeled for greenhouse use anymore, and I did have problems with them putting off a lot of Male flowers which I guess will happen under stress. Any suggestions would be helpful.
