Looks lovely. However it tasted very bitter. After stripping the skin off and then salting it, draining it, patting it dry, tasting it (bleah, again) I finally added vinegar and sugar and left it for a bit before draining and serving. It was all right. But not that good. I have looked around the net for information on why it was bitter, what I can do and whether the rest of the cucumbers the plant produces will also be bitter, but am rather more confused than I was when I started.

Cukes go bitter if they are fertilized by male plants - you have to sex them and get rid of the males, or choose an all-female seed. Hope that helps!
