      Unfortunately, I didn’t have any luck germinating this variety. I started 6 different cucumbers and this was the only one that gave me zero germination. I was wondering if anyone else had problems.

      While I can’t comment on taste, proliferation etc., this variety did germinate at 100% for me. Just to respond to Julia. I am in far North Texas.

      I have grown Beit Alpha cucumber for 4 years. We love them! You MUST allow space for the air to flow around the plants. Do not plant in thick rows. We grow them on the garden fence, 2 seeds every 18-24 inches, water when dry. This is a cucumber we must have! Sweet, mild. Never bitter. And loads of cucumbers! Last year I took 2 laundry baskets full to work to give away. Everyone loved them!

      good germination in outdoor low tunnel in mn. so far nice green plants that are quickly growing.

      Very prolific plant! Only downside is that although the plant is big, it didn’t grow any tendrils so far which makes it harder for me to make them climb a trellis

      Our favorite slicing cucumber by far. 100% germination and produced all summer (until the cucumber beetles destroyed the plants). The cucumbers are delicious – very sweet and did not get bitter in the heat. This will be our go-to salad cucumber plant.

      These cucumbers preformed fairly well in my garden (North Carolina 7b), they were direct sown in the middle of summer underneath sunflowers. Initially, the sunflowers shaded out the plants which did stunt them slightly but ultimately they grew well and produced decently.

      OMG! Awesome cucumber. 100% germination. Early, prolific producer until hard frost. Lovely, crispy sweet flesh, skin so tender you can eat ’em straight from the vine!

      Great germination. Yummy shorter cucumbers. Working to up my pollination but produced pretty well despite. Struggled in the heat of a Utah summer but shaded them and they held up allright
