Two basic types of cucumbers are common in Maine gardens: slicing varieties for eating fresh, and pickling varieties. The slicing cucumbers are longer, usually about nine inches long, have dark green skin, and are glossy with tapering ends. The pickling varieties are smaller and squatter.https://extension.umaine.edu/publications/wp-content/uploads/sites/52/2019/06/cucumbers-in-a-box-300x199.jpg
