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.

I’ll have some for you this fall...i believe they were from record genetics...send me an email...also keep your eyes open this winter for the club auctions, they have unique seeds a lot of the time...incredibly fun to watch grow

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
