Discover the charm of Cucumis sativus 'Lemon'—a gardener's delight since 1894 and a rare find in supermarkets! These eye-catching, globe-shaped cucumbers resemble lemons with their vibrant, pale-yellow skin and succulent white flesh. Perfectly suited for slicing or pickling, Lemon cucumbers are delectable when eaten whole, skin and all, just like an apple. Their non-bitter, burpless nature ensures they're easy to digest, making them a favorite among culinary enthusiasts. Children adore the fun, lemon-sized fruits that offer an irresistible crunch and excellent cucumber flavor, despite lacking any "lemony" taste. Originating as a popular Australian heirloom, these cucumbers flourish in full sun, displaying vigorous yet compact vines that stretch 3 to 6 feet. Lemon cucumbers are frost-sensitive annuals but boast impressive drought tolerance, producing abundant harvests 65 days after sowing. With low cucurbitacin levels, they're resistant to cucumber beetles, offering a delicious and practical addition to any garden.
