    Good-tasting straight slicers, typically 10-12" long with average to good production. Supposedly burpless. Advertised as seedless if isolated, but I had other cukes nearby and mine did have seeds unless picked very early at about 6" long. Smooth thin skin.

    This is the first year I have grown Sweet Success. I tried it because I had heard great things about this variety. Sweet Success did make really nice and delicious slicing cucumbers. Just the right size for eating and cutting into salads. Also, the vines seemed to be relatively disease free.
