    Not sure where I come out on this one. Lots of flowers and lots of pollination, but only 2 cucumbers. One was long and beautiful, even though it was huge, it still tasted delicious (though hard to store in my fridge drawer). The other was a little smaller. It may have been the season, with the lack of rain, cucumbers overall didn't seem to fair well. I would give it another try, definitely not for pickling!!!
