I tried picking them small and large, it made no difference. The water

have a sprinkler system, so the ground stayed consistently moist.


Soil pH and mineral content does affect taste, though I never noticed
it with cucumbers. Which soil type and pH do you have? I usually
correct my acid soil with wood ash for selected vegetables, such as
tomatoes, lettuce, greens and cabbage.
