This heirloom cucumber has round striped 3 - 4" yellow fruit that will add some fun to your salads! The bright yellow skin is thin & tender, & the white flesh is sweet & crisp with a mild cucumber taste. It is also a favorite for pickling.
The plants are both long & heavy producers with up to 30 – 40 fruit per vine. They grow well even in cooler climates. Everyone that has grown Lemon Cucumbers says they'll never give me up.

I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
