Cucumber
Lemon

Lemon Cucumbers are a great heirloom variety with a wonderfully refreshing flavor, perfect for escaping the heat on a hot summer day. I always pick one to snack on when I walk past it in the field! Always productive, its bright yellow fruits are small, round, and need no peeling when picked young as the skin is not bitter. Be sure to harvest them before they over-mature to enjoy their crisp, tender texture.

These cucumbers are a great size for single servings, making them ideal for packed lunches, and they look extra pretty when quartered like a lemon for salads or snacks. With big seeds, they’re also easy to grow, fun for kids, and can be trellised to save space.
