To find out large cucumbers they crossed a variety of cucumber types and they needed to wait for several weeks because cucumber plants need time to get mature. Then, through a number of attempts and tries, they found large cucumbers but the taste of these cucumbers was not good. After that, they again went through different varieties of cucumbers and waited for other several weeks to get results but this time, they found large cucumbers with good taste.
