Does anyone have a suggestion for a burpless variety that is a good producer? I always have issues with bitterness (despite even watering etc.) and am going to try a burpless this year which are supposed to be less bitter prone. Thanks in advance.

Fresh eating or pickling?
I was always told by old timers that bitterness only comes from leaving on the vine too long. Just try to pick them earlier?

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Fresh eating/slicing type. I do pick them fairly small. Not sure why I have had such an issue with the bitterness.
H19 little leaf. Technically a pickling variety but still great for fresh eating. Will produce tons in the right conditions.
The Suyo Long varieties are my favorites for fresh cukes. I have been growing the Palace King variety for the past 8 years or so and really like them.

If your in the BCS. Go to coop and get the burpless seeds or farm patch/coop for burpless plants
I pick 15-20 a day sometimes and never bitter
