I've just finished harvesting some tomatoes and cucumbers, and I realized I'm not a huge fan of my current cucumber plants. They taste great, but both the vines and the cucumbers are covered in little prickles that make my hands and arms itch and sting when I touch them. While the prickles come off easily, the irritation really makes me hesitant to harvest them. I'm curious if anyone has suggestions for cucumber varieties that are less prickly or even their personal favorites?

Marketmore cucumbers are my go-to! They do have some prickles, but all cucumbers seem to have them to some degree. Just give them a good scrub under running water before eating them.
I really love Armenian cucumbers! They have a different texture and are usually not as prickly, which might be what you're looking for.
Have you checked out Dragon Eggs? They look super cute and might be a fun addition to your garden. Plus, they're great for snacking on!
Those look adorable and perfect for snacking! I'll definitely give them a try!
