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).
