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
Jeannine can't help but I have the round lemon type, want seeds??
Do they have a name on so I can find them again if it is the right one, if so yes please. 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?
I also have Boothbys Blond and White wonder which are more sausage shaped than spherical...
;D
Deb P, that would be great I think the only way will be to try them all, what can I give you in return? I will PM you XX Jeannine
I have grown both crystal apple and crystal lemon, and to me they are one and the same.
Teh seeds I have ar from Baker Creek and just say Lemon!! but the pic on the front is just like you desribe them, I'll pop them in with the other seeds I'm sending XX
