Meanwhile, I saved seed pucks from last year’s failed attempts. To my surprised delight I discovered that one of the Merlin cucumber seeds sprouted after its long dormancy. Since our friend Phoenix swears by the Straight Eight cuke variety, we bought a packet for this year.

| My bonus Merlin cuke is topmost right, foremost are tomatoes refusing to sprout, in the middle are my rainbow Swiss chard. |
We also decided to try our luck growing lemon cucumbers. As the name suggests, this heirloom breed we hope to propagate is round and yellow with a sweet taste enjoyed both raw and pickled.

| We look forward to tasting any we can harvest... |

I have heard of the lemon cucumbers because my hubby gets every seed catalog imaginable. :) I hope all your plants do well. XO
ReplyDeleteNope, never heard of lemon cucumbers before!
ReplyDeleteI never heard of lemon cucumbers and I don't think I've ever seen any either.
ReplyDeleteNo, I did not know lemon cucumbers existed. Of course, I don't spend a lot of time thinking about cucumbers, so this is unsurprising.
ReplyDeleteSometimes growing things don't turn out. Got my fingers crossed that everything will thrive.
ReplyDeleteI've not heard of lemon cucumbers before. Cool.
Have a fabulous day and rest of the week. Love and hugs. ♥
Hi Darla, I have never heard of lemon cucumbers! I absolutely love cucumbers. The only pickles I buy and actually like are the Bick's sweet sliced ones. They are fantastic! I am not very fond of things that are either too hot and spicy or sour. (or too sweet either)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing.
I've not heard of lemon cucumbers. They look interesting.
ReplyDeleteLemon... cucumbers?
ReplyDeleteYup! :D
DeleteI had never seen or heard of lemon cucumbers! This is the first time I'm seeing a photo of it!
