FREE: Lemon Cucumber - 10 seeds

The listing, Lemon Cucumber - 10 seeds has ended.

The Lemon cucumber is a spherical, oval-shaped broad fruit that grows two to three inches in length. Changing color as it matures, its early, lemon-yellow color turns a golden yellow as it ripens. The mild, pleasant taste is complemented by a cool, crisp texture. Resembling a lemon in appearance, the flavor is more delicately sweet and less acidic than the common green cucumber. Similar to a kiwi, Lemon cucumber skin has tiny bristles that are edible but may be easily removed.

Planting

You can start lemon cucumber seedlings inside 2 to 4 weeks before the last frost, or start them directly in the soil once the threat of frost passes. Winter sowing -- the process of starting seeds outdoors during the colder months in milk jugs, which act like mini-greenhouses -- is another way to start seedlings for gardeners limited on inside space, or those who want larger plants to transplant. Use good quality soil for seed starts, or soil mixed with compost if you will plant the seeds directly into the ground. Place seed trays or milk jugs in a sunny spot for germination; seeds directly planted should be in full sun, as well. Wet the soil prior to planting; it should be saturated but not swimming in water. Gently push seeds into the soil and cover with a small amount of dirt.
