Poona Kheera Cucumber

Purchased from: Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds  $2.50/25-35 seeds
Type: Cucumber
Growth: Vine

I can't just grow a "normal" vegetable, can I?  No plain cucumbers for me, no siree- I had to try something new.  The reviews for this cucumber were what sold me on giving it a try.  I pretty much exclusively eat cucumbers fresh, though I am not averse to pickles, I tend to not actually be up for making my own (though I'd love to try). 

This cucumber is supposed to not only be very productive, but also very tasty, which are two things I'm looking for after a disappointing year last year in regards to cucumbers.  I'm hoping this year will turn out better, and in addition to these I'll also be trying again with the Lemon cucumbers from Fisher Seeds.  Of course my seeds could end up being completely bad, but I'm optimistic that I'll be able to get enough to germinate that I can also grow them.  Last year, my cucumbers were all but shaded out when I stupidly planted them nearby tomatoes, which I should have, of course, known were going to be problematic since those were transplants.  That isn't a mistake I'll make this year.
