Does anyone grow these? are there any established genetics? If so, where should I check? I don't trust google to find me high grade proven seed genetics from a general search.

About how many sq ft do you typically commit to the cucumbers? Need to decide if I can do it next year. Pretty sure I'm going to try 2 pumpkins next year. Not sure if there will be any more room for cucumbers. May wait another year.

Jungle style you could do it in a 4x4 space grown up a teepee or trellis...Prolly smaller if you trained it up some lattice...to try for a record?...who knows...watch giantveg’s journal ..?...master p’s?...(although something tells me in a few weeks you’ll be too busy staring at a pumpkin all the time to think about pickles )...good luck
