  • Jenny-Christiansen-Generic-Crack

    To me, ropes are one of the pieces of gear that is hard to make an informed decision about prior to purchasing one.

    All white at all stages and very mild. Besides being a good slicer, it makes extra fine whole or chunk pickles. We recommend you plant the White Wonder Cucumber with your other varieties of cucumbers. It bears early and continues in abundance until fall.
