Lemon Cucumber
Cucumis sativus
Heirloom
Tender Annual

(70-75 days) Dating back to the 1890s, these 3-4" oval to round, yellow cukes are juicy and sweet.

This summer treat is rarely found in stores, so grow your own or offer it at your farm stand to enjoy.

Questions & Comments

By the way, the new craze in cocktails is to add a drop or so of cucumber juice and these look awesome on the top of a glass:) Great party discussion piece!

Thanks, Jackic! Is that you in the pic? I got your message about it being a grand-baby. Very pretty baby, though. Baby resembles my first daughter (who is stunning if I do say so myself). I guess you and I can grow more than awesome veggies:)

lol....thats me and yes we can grow more than veggies...I gotta feed all these kids on weekends, so I need all the food I can get

Wow! What a young grand mother:) You must be proud! These Lemon cukes are awesome to let the kids pick. I send mine with a washcloth to rub them smooth with and eat right out of the garden. Easy if you are chemical free. These have very few pests, by the way.

I only grow Hungarian wax and jalapeños. Needless to say, my kids don't get into those. Ahhhhhh! The do like them on their Mexican food, though!
