They can be used fresh as a salad
cucumber, but this is actually a pickling type. You've seen, and most
likely eaten, those big yellowish sandwich stacker pickles, right? One
slice covers a medium sized hamburger. Well, this is it. This is the
variety they make those giant pickle slices from. And are they
delicious!

I *LOVE* those big sandwich stacker pickles. I think they are the
best pickles I have ever eaten but lately the only sandwich stacker
pickles I have been able to find are ones made out of smaller
cucumbers that are sliced lengthwise. I do not think they are quite
as good as the big round ones.


Plants of Yellow Submarine are quite sturdy and vigorous with good
tolerance against Cucumber Mosaic Virus, Scab and Powdery Mildew. They
develop large, harvestable fruits in about 58-60 days. The fruits grow
to lengths of up to eight inches and three inches across while
maintaining a very small seed cavity. They make wonderful sliced
crunchy pickles in these large sizes,

What is the best size for using in a salad?

the perfect thing to stack on
sandwiches to give them some extra zip, especially on submarine
sandwiches and burgers. Add some garlic and hot red peppers to your
pickling brine, and you'll be in hog heaven with every sandwich bite
you take."

This sounds just about perfect for me because I almost always have
problems with powdery mildew. I will definitely grow some next
year.
