What are the cons? Cucumbers will turn yellow if not given the proper calcium levels they desire
Review:This isn't a normal "comes in a pack" kinda pickle in the huge seeds racks you see in stores, this type is one you probably will have to order from a seed shop online just because most people don't realize how many different types of cucumbers there are and ones that are bred specifically for pickling. 10/10 would grow this variety again for pickling.
