We are growing Straight 8's and they taste great, no bitterness or anything like that. Our problem is this, the first round of pickings were great, nice dark green skin, no blemishes, now we are getting a lighter colored green for the cukes and there is brown scaling (hard rough spots or veins) on the cukes. I can peel them, but would rather not. We have had good weather, a bit hot in the mid to upper 90's, but we have had good rains, they get about an inch a week, clay soil - here in western NC. Any ideas about why we have brown scaly spots on the skins of the plants. The plants themselves look good. Thank you. Hi!
