Ratings & Reviews
Cucumber- Crystal AppleCucumber- Crystal AppleCucu
I planted these in a very loose manner with a young kid who preferred to mix and throw the seeds in any direction. The crystal apple cucumber seemed to profoundly approve because I now have stacks of delicious cucumbers! For almost 2 months so far, I've been eating every kind of cucumber salad, dip and pickles! I've given away to neighbours, friends and still have more than I know what to do with. The taste is delicious and the fruits have been much larger than the crystal apples you occasionally see in the shops. Many softish spikes appear on the fruit but easily rub off if needed. So far have been storing very well, even just on the kitchen bench in summer. Highly recommend for beginner gardeners like me.
