Now I grow seedless cukes under screening because I was tired of

my plants to bacterial wilt.

I assume the cucumbers under screening must be parthenocarpic such that
lack of pollination would not be a problem. Any recommended
variety/source? -Olin


'Sweet Success' is a widely available, dark green slicer. 'Diva' was introduced by
Johnny's Selected Seeds and is also available from Pinetree Garden Seeds. It's
a lighter green Mid Eastern Beit-Alpha type cucumber.

Pinetree Garden seeds also supplies a variety named 'Cool Breeze' which is listed
with the French vegetables. It a small variety, suitable for pickling.
