This is the most colorful harvest I've had yet. It's red onions, lemon cucumber, tomatoes and bush beans.
I love the heirloom lemon cucumber but I wish they were either way bigger or produced 
way more.
They are also like porcupines with little prickly things on them. I'll definitely be growing them again!
Behold, my first cucumber ever! It's an Heirloom Lemon Cucumber that I direct sowed after the great folks over at Baker Creek Seeds sent me free seeds with my last order.
The taste is supposed to be "sweet and mild". I'm not really sure what that means in cucumber terms but I'm thinking about trying these in a tomato/cucumber/onion salad like my mom makes.
The Lemon Cucumber gets it's name from its shape and color. It's rounder and yellow, like a lemon. It was introduced back in 1894.
Have you grown Lemon Cucumber before? What's your favorite way to eat them?
