'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.

Which zone are you in? I have some Diva planted and they are doing next to
nothing. "Sweet Slice" is producing like gang busters. I read somewhere that
Diva likes a soil temperature of at least 70°F.

I'm in that pocket of zone 6a in southeast Michigan. Cukes are running late
this year for me, because the spring was so cool that they were late going in.
(The tomatoes, corn, and beans late too.)
