They are called something else in the UK and not available commercially, only from clued in home gardeners. In Australia you can buy them in the supermarket or greengrocers and people grow them. They are my preferred cuke, but more or less impossible to get in France I think. I don't have enough water to grow them.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.com
