If you buy a greenhouse in Chile or maybe Florida you could raise GH Cuc's
for sale in February for a profit but not in SE PA; let alone make a
fortune. + I bet they are a particular type the Chinese want. + they are not
suited to an 'all at once' harvest period no matter when you grow them.
What do you want to know about GH Cucumbers in season? I had given Allan my
own experience with them. I should probably not made a personal enquiry of
him on a public forum. Sorry.
