Type: Cucumber
Growth: Vining
This is another leftover from last year that I didn't have much luck with, mostly because I think my cucumbers ended up being shaded out and were never able to get going. I'm going to plant some at the house this year as well as at the garden, so hopefully between those two places I will have at least one area that gets enough sun to produce. There were some of these cucumbers planted in one of the public beds, so it wasn't a complete disaster- that was a pleasant surprise!
"Lemon" cucumbers are called such not because they taste like lemon, but because of their shape and color, which is small, round, and yellow. They taste just like a regular, mild cucumber- but the shape makes them more fun because the slices are bigger, so if you wanted to do sandwiches or something they could be larger, etc.
I love cucumbers just raw and sliced with a little bit of italian salad dressing. Sadly, my stomach doesn't love me as much for eating them this way, but if I moderate that, it should be OK. I'm looking forward to having some of my own homegrown cucumbers this summer to eat raw and possibly make fridge pickles with.
