Cucumber - Lemon (4" pot)

The shape, size, and color of a lemon, but with the crisp, sweet flavor of a cucumber. The tasty fruit is low in cucurbitacin, the naturally occurring cucumber chemical that accounts for a slightly bitter taste. The flesh is citrusy and adds a real zip to salads! Fantastic for kids’ gardens. Some rust and drought resistance. 

Grown Organically from seed in our nursery.

4" pot

Pest/Disease Management: Does need to be protected from caterpillars, particularly when young, which can be done with hand picking or selectively spraying with organic caterpillar treatments. We use BT (sparingly) for caterpillars. Resistant to most mildews but may still occur. We treat with a spray of half water and half milk for mildew.
