I have some mini white cucumber (was very impressed with these) and I will check if I have some crystal lemon ( not this years, the year befores) you can have.

Edited to add. Got the minis and can give some West Indian Gherkin seed (from Real Seed...last years). I think Crystal Lemon was in my imagination!

yes spacmaster is supposed to grow to 65cm but its a bit variable, has nice mini cucs on 6 inches or so. I find they do best under plastic Keep the door closed  to up the humidity. they wer'nt so good in the greenhouse to much fresh air ( for the melon & toms
