Cucumber Lemon Heirloom

Description

Days To Maturity: 65 Days

A favorite for over a hundred years, lemon cucumbers effortlessly produce loads of pastel yellow fruit just the color, size and shape of pale lemons. They have a mild, sweet flavor, crisp texture and non-bitter, thin skins. Cool and refreshing, very young Lemon cukes are delicious eaten right from the garden like a fresh crispy apple.

Uses

Care

Members of the cucurbit family (including melons, squash and cucumbers) don’t like to have their roots disturbed, try to plant those seeds directly in the garden. Compost well to encourage rapid growth. Cucumbers prefer a pH between 6.0 and 7.0, and thrive best in temperatures between 65-75 degrees.

Cucumbers love to climb, use a sturdy trellis to grow up.
