CUCUMBER SEED LEMON - 100 CUCUMBER SEEDS

LEMON CUCUMBER

Lemon Cucumbers are a very old variety cultivated since in 1894. They were first introduced from New Zealand and appeared in Ferry Morse's 1934 seed catalogue. Marketed as Crystal Lemon or Crystal Apple, each fruit is the size of a small apple, hence it was known as 'Apple Cucumber', but as its fruit is a pale yellow in colour when ready to eat it is often called 'Crystal Lemon'. 
These names refers simply to their appearance, not their flavour or aroma. These cucumbers do not smell or taste at all like apples or lemons. They are very similar to a typical cucumber, with tender pale greenish skin and sweet flesh, they have the best flavour while young at about 5cm. The skins toughen with age so pick them when they are small.
