Last year, a friend of ours gave us one of these cucumbers from his garden for seed saving. He had let it grow to a considerable size/length, of course, to ensure plump and viable seeds. It has a light green, slightly ribbed, thin skin. We did taste it, though, and it was crisp, sweet and juicy, even though it was 'grown up'.
Here it is in my garden. These are two plants that are now growing nicely. They are flowering profusely.
Have a closer look! Aren't they just the cutest baby cucumbers? Grow, cucumber, grow!

I am always happy to read your comments, dear readers. However, I am trialling 'word verification' for a little while, as I have been receiving a lot of spam. The spam never makes it onto the comment pages, as I am moderating all comments. But it is starting to get tedious to moderate all the spam. I hope this will not cause any inconvenience to any of may regular readers. Please leave a comment - I am always happy to hear from you! :)
