These look just like the "Blonde Boothby" cucumbers I grew last year. If that's what they are, they are an heirloom variety that was good fresh, as well as pickled. They were very productive, and I highly recommend the variety.

I to bought some cucumbers that turned out to be orange not from over ripening since they basicly started off orange, when I went to look this up i found out that a lot of people have the same problem with no awnser until i found some articles on USDA site. The messed up thing is that the company I got mine from said that they were USDA organic and non GMO. It would seem that this new strand has been found cross pollinating with alot of people cucumbers all over the place. The sad thing is that consumers that want GMO free food are beening unknowningly mislead into growing and eating GMO's not to mention that the heal effects of these new genes are unknow. With all the genetic alterations of our food and madmen scientist unleashing these plants into the wild, will we one day awake to a world where genetically pure foods don't exist and orange cucumbers take the place of green ones???? Here is the USDA's website about there man made orange cucumbers i would suggest you look into the issue more and question whether or not we should accept these alteration to the natural order of our food. And please ask yourself this one question about genetically modified food, why are they altering our food and not even telling us about it???????<br /><br />http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/ar/archive/nov95/cukes1195.htm?pf=1<br /><br />http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/qtr/q195/gr195.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514589635991570772.post-69378094569808298332010-08-10T21:23:21.836-04:002010-08-10T21:23:21.836-04:00I've read that they turn orange from being kep...I've read that they turn orange from being kept on the vine too long.

In my garden I have huge orange cucumbers growing like a plague. They are all over the place now. I likewise was about to compost them but instead decided to use it in sushi because I was in need of a cucumber. Needless to say, it was more crunchy than "normal" ones, but still delicious. <br /><br />This blog is a lot more encouraging than the information I've been reading about cucumber viruses and disease that manifest themselves in the orangeness of the cucumber. Some genius even wrote, "better luck next year."

When I saw them growing to be so fat and not cucumber looking and then turning orange, I thought they had just gone bad or gotten burned in the sun and was pulling them off and throwing them in my compost pile. I've never grown cucumbers and this took me by surprise.<br /><br />I picked a very large one this morning, that looks exactly like the pic on this website. It is firm and very nice looking. I look forward to tasting it. Thanks so much for posting this info !!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
