Say what? Seedless cucumbers. Perhaps the best way to explain this is that it is a Riessenschal type. Huh? Okay, let’s just say it’s an improvement over Carnito. Good, now you’ve got it.
Seriously, while all of the above is true, what you really need to know is that this is what makes gardeners garden. This is different. Real different. The innovation’s all there in Yellow Submarine.
Fruit color begins as light green, then turns to light yellow as the fruits gain both length and diameter. They can be used fresh as a salad cucumber, but this is actually a pickling type. You’ve seen, and most likely eaten, those big yellowish sandwich stacker pickles, right? One slice covers a medium sized hamburger. Well, this is it. This is the variety they make those giant pickle slices from. And are they delicious!
Plants of Yellow Submarine are quite sturdy and vigorous with good tolerance against Cucumber Mosaic Virus, Scab and Powdery Mildew. They develop large, harvestable fruits in about 58-60 days. The fruits grow to lengths of up to eight inches and three inches across while maintaining a very small seed cavity. They make wonderful sliced crunchy pickles in these large sizes, the perfect thing to stack on sandwiches to give them some extra zip, especially on submarine sandwiches and burgers. Add some garlic and hot red peppers to your pickling brine, and you’ll be in hog heaven with every sandwich bite you take."
