Best mini cucumber

[Containergardener]

Looking at seeds but havnt done mini ones before (for my mum )

[Chippy Minton]

We started with Cucino which was nice and moved on to Passandra which has been very successful for us and so that's the one we go for now.

Beth Alpha for me.

Are they a female-only (and therefore self-setting) variety, or do they need pollinating?

[veggiechicken]

Dunno - I leave them to their own devices and never had a problem with pollination or bitterness.
Some retailers say they're F1 - I don't buy from them as they also send less seeds than a site that doesn't pretend.

Bought these last time - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Premier-See.../dp/B00NW9J2D2

Oh no..I forgot about the Male female . Dont need complications .

Mini Munch for me

Beth Alpha for me.

Also known as Beit Alpha. Gives loads of really tasty mini cukes and not a silly price for the seeds. Just plant 'em and pick 'em, as F1 I think they are female only, but there's never been any problem with them if not.

Delistar has lovely fine skins, really lovely. It's an F1 unfortunately, so expensive seeds. Worth it to me though, as OH is happy to eat these, though he doesn't usually like cucumber much.

I've grown Cucino, Mini Munch and La Diva. There doesn't seem to be much to choose between them in terms of taste or productivity, but I found La Diva produced a lot of male flowers which I tried to remove but there were far too many. I didn't get any bitter fruit though.

All 3 of these will grow outdoors.

Baby F1. Too early to claim them as best as its first time growing cucumbers but they aren't dead, which i count as a good start.
