Cucumber Crystal Lemon

Cucumber - Crystal Lemon

Approximate Seed Quantity: 5

An unusual heirloom variety producing a profusion of fruits with a lemon coloured skin and lime green flesh. The flavour is mild, sweet and never bitter. Fruits are best harvested when reaching the size of a lemon. This variety is wonderful for salads and pickling – if you can resist the temptation of eating them whilst harvesting! Half-hardy annual.
