No problems here. Driest hottest spring I have ever encountered, but I planted the cukes in partial shade and water them deeply once a week. Disease free and growing like gangbusters. Talladega, Early Fortune, Thunderbird and Olympian. Bitterness is usually caused by stress. I rarely have it unless the cuccumber beetles outsmart me.
