Lemon Cucumber:
The Cucumber Lemon, 'Cucumis satiovus', is a very good slicer or pickler. The Lemon cucumber is very sweet, crisp, easy to digest and looks just like a lemon. If you love cukes, eat these like an apple. Don't dismiss their unusual lemon-shaped cucumber variety as a simple oddity; the white flesh has excellent flavor, plants are somewhat drought tolerant, and they are a great slicer or pickler. Do not let cucumbers get too big because the vines stop producing if over mature cucumbers stay on the vine.
