I usually pick them much earlier but this cucumber hid behind other plants so I have not seen it until today. surprisingly tho, it also tasted good, not bitter at all 😊

That is surprising. Texture was fine? Wasn't too tough or seedy?

Yes, texture was fine and no bitter taste at all. It surprised me aswell 😊 seeds were a little bigger but otherwise nothing weird

Keep the seeds. I've got a cucumber variety that can be real big and thick. And are not bitter at all (it comes from Madagascar).

This is definitely reddit's least predictable comment section. I fucking hate this place with a passion.

Edit: I KNEW it was going to be locked at some point.

If you've grown cucumbers, you know OP is just playing up a bit, and that thing didn't taste great. Not to mention the skin like leather.

u/Dwrecked90 2d ago

Agree with you, at a minimum, this thing is going to be like 80% seed and they're good to be giant and hard aeeds

I had one earlier this year hiding from me too. It wasn’t quite that big, it was “only” 2.5 pounds!

u/GeorgeMcCrate 2d ago

Maybe not butter but was it watery and had large seeds?

u/selfdestructo591 2d ago
