heriloomThese unique lemon yellow fruits are sweet and crisp with mild flavor that?s easy to digest. It looks like a lemon, but has white flesh and great cucumber taste. The 3.5" x 2.5" fruits are great for slicing and eating fresh or pickling. Lemon Cucumbers are hard to find in the grocery store, so this is a great one to try in your garden. The plants are somewhat drought tolerant, and the fruit stores well in the refrigerator.

When to plant outside: Spring, after the average last frost and when soil is warm, at least degrees.

When to start inside: 4-6 weeks before the average last frost.

Special Germination Instructions: Plant in mounds or rows as you prefer. If rows, plant every 4 inches, thinning to 1 plant per foot. Mounds should be 4 feet apart with 6 seedlings on each mound, thinned to 3 per mound. Another highly recommended method is to plant with a trellis. Cucumbers grow straighter and are easier to see when harvesting. Use the row spacing and tie each main stem to the trellis with string or twist tie.
