Frustrated with round cucumbers!!
« on: March 09, 2007, 18:43:24 »
Acouple of years ago I bought a some cuke plants as I missed sowing them for some reason,thye were supposed to All female Pepitas, They were not.

They were oval to round and yellow and prickly and they were very good.

I have attemped to buy seeds like them bit is not as easy as it sounds.I have had some back ordered for weeks from one company and am running out of time.

I have found  mention of Crystal Apple,is this different to Apple.
I have found  mention Crystal Lemon  too,is this different to Lemon,

or are the 4 above all the same thing.

I have bought Sunsweet F1 and they are growing  but I would like to grow the ones above too as I want to be sure to get the one I accidently bought so a trial seems in order.

Does anyone know  if they are in fact the same or different, and does anyone have any first hand experience with all of them  if they are in fact 5 different types.

Lastly can anyone share a few seeds with me of  whichever  they have so I can do my trial, I am sure I can find something of interest to swap back.

Thank you XX Jeannine

As fr as I know, Crystal Apple and Crystal Lemon cucumbers are the same thing. Sunsweet must be different as it's an F1 variety, although it looks pretty similar. I have a few Crystal Apple seeds if you would like to try them?
