I have been getting a lot of questions about the different types of cucumbers I have available this year. From snacking cucumber to pickling cucumbers I have some good options.
To help you decide on which cucumber fits your needs the best I have included descriptions of the different types of cucumbers here.
.............................................................................
Cucamelon- Mexican Sour Gherking Cucumber-
Looks like a miniature watermelon but is a cucumber. Crunch into them and they have a cucumber like taste with a lemony-lime burst. Easy to grow, having rampant vines, best grown on a trellis or in hanging baskets and easily ignored by pests. Harvest when they are smaller than a grape; the bigger they get the more sour citrus flavor they get. Eat them raw as a snack and in salads or preserve by pickling.
