Lemon Cucumber
3-4” semi-bush type plants bear loads of rounded cucumbers with lemon-colored skin, sweet and mild, never bitter. Perfect for cooler climates and pickling!
Mexican Sour Gherkin
(65 days) Open-pollinated. Also known as Cucamelon or Sandía de ratón (‘Mouse Watermelon’ in Spanish), and Preserving Cucumber in France. Tiny seedlings grow into rampant yet delicate scrambling vines covered with dozens of 1" green and white fruit that look like miniature watermelons but taste more like cucumbers, with a crunchy texture and a slight sour zing as if they already had been pickled. Botanically, they are neither cucumber nor watermelon and won’t cross with either. They don’t bruise and they keep for a long time. Try them in stir fries, pickle them as gherkins, or add to salsas. Easy to grow, and fun! Slightly more tolerant of cold than cukes, and more drought-resistant.
Pickling Cucumber
(52 Days) High-yielding, early, old favorite. Medium green fruits bear early, good color and shape. 3-5”
Suyo Long Cucumber
(61 days) Traditional long-fruited variety from China. A sweet-flavored, ribbed fruit growing up to 15" long. Widely adapted, grows well in hot weather, and sets early. Try using this unusual-looking cucumber in salads, for bread-and-butter, or mixed vegetable pickles. Trellis for straighter cukes.
Dark Green Zucchini
This dark green zucchini is perfect for home gardeners with superior flavor and excellent yields. Firm, tender flesh with small seed cavities, best picked at 6”. Wonderful thinly sliced, salted and used as a noodle substitute.
Yellow Squash
This straight-necked variety is early with prolific production of glossy-skinned fruits, straight necks and excellent flavor.
Romanesco Zucchini
(60 days) Open Pollinated. Deeply striped and ribbed, Romanesco resembles Cocozelle Zucchini, with a distinctive sweet mildly nutty flavor. Also a productive source for tasty male squash blossoms and good for stuffing even when the fruits get way oversized.
