Topic: Cucumber 'Lemon'

[RobinOfTheHood]

Another cuke question, sorry....

Has anyone grown these before, I bought them from Alan Romans. I think they're a heritage variety, so do I need to remove the male flowers?

I would have thought so, but just checking.

Oh, and I'm also growing Marketmore for the first time, does the same apply to these?

Ta.  :)

If it's Crystal Lemon then it is an outdoor type and there is no need to remove the male flowers.  The same goes for Marketmore.

I really fancied trying the 'lemon' cukes this year but couldnt find any seeds locally.
Where do you get the seeds from?
Thanks. :)

I grew them last year and didn't get to many on the plant and my seeds this year didn't get going at all :(      ;D ;D ;D

I got mine in a swap last year and this year I bought them from the Organic Gardening catalogue.  Suffolk Herbs and Simpsons also stock them.

Not Crystal Lemon, it's just marketed as 'Cucumber 'Lemon'' from alanromans.com.


PS just googled it, and got this page!  :o
