"65 days. The 3-4"" round and lemon yellow cucumbers are tender and sweet, excellent for salads and pickling. Normal-sized vines yield heavily and for a long time."

"I love these lemon cucumbers. I had been buying them for years in the markets, the flavors are mild yet tasty and if you have digestion problems these cucumbers will not bother you. When purchasing at a market the costs are high, now I can have as many as I wish. They are delightful in salads.
Enjoy!"

Great taste,
September 4, 2009 Submitted byKendra from Plainfield, IL
"This was a wonderful cucumber. The biggest I picked was a bit bigger than my fist, but the rest were smaller and perfect snack size. Sliced, or just eating them whole, they were great. We didn't get support on them when they were young and they branched out everywhere. They had a TON of veggies on each plant too."

Yum!,
December 18, 2008 Submitted bySMiller from Northwest Louisiana
"I had seen these little cucumbers in a magazine about two years ago and was very curious. Well, we planted them this past summer and Wow! They have a great taste. I don't think we will ever grow anything else. Thier mild flavor is just perfect for in a salad, or just right out of your hand."

Nice looking is as far as it goes.,
August 24, 2008 Submitted byLakeErieGarden from Lorain, OH
"This is one heck of a bland, seedy cucumber. I have seen it described as mild and would agree it is closer to the flavor of crunchy water than anything else. Now, it is cool looking for sure. Quite the novelty but the flavor does not merit the space for me."

This Won't Be My Last Time With These!!,
July 30, 2008 Submitted byBrandywine from Pennsylvania
"This is my first time growing these cucumbers. I have never seen them where I live - even in the specialty stores. They were easy to grow and abundant! I had to cut vines that were growing along the ground because they were climbing all over my beans. What a treat to peek behind the large leaves and see a yellow surprise. My friends like them so much that I have been taking orders from them - I am selling them for gas money!!
If you grow these make sure you have plenty of stakes or a teepee. Enjoy!!"

Unusual Cuke,
June 8, 2008 Submitted byCAGardener from Northern CA
"I used to grow this variety years ago, and found that they were very suseptable to powdery mildew. After seeing them last year (2007) in the Burpee catalog I thought I would give them another try, and boy, am I glad I did! No problems with mildew this time, and what a producer. Great mild taste (just like I remembered), and I had cukes through the end of September. I planted them again this year (2008) and the vine is doing well even with our unusually cool early summer weather. I recommend that you grow these on a trellis/fence as it just makes it easier to see and pick the fruits once the plant starts producing (I use tomato cages for my cukes and have no trouble at all with them). All-in-all I would go ahead and give this unusual looking cuke a try."

Exactly what they *should* taste like,
February 24, 2008 Submitted byMarmoxmag from Scarborough, ME
"I had lemon cucumbers for the first time in San Francisco and loved the flavor and color, so was happy to see that Burpee offered them. I tried them in my summer 2007 garden, and they lived up to what I was expecting. The fruits were healthy and sweet, truly slightly lemony, stayed crisp long in the fridge, and were great in many different preparations. The skin is a little on the thick side, so if that bothers you this might not be the best cuke for you. The vines were smaller than typical cuke vines and much more manageable. Another benefit is that the raccoons, deer, and groundhogs that typically ruin a few of my cukes left these alone. I highly recommend them."

Prolific, to say the least,
August 10, 2007 Submitted byFinny from San Jose, CA
"This is my second year growing these, in a reinvigorated raised bed (soil testing = good idea) and never have a day go by without a fresh lemon cucumber making it into my mouth.
One plant has produced at least one cucumber every day since it started fruiting. Try to catch them when they're about racquetball size, before they get too large and seedy.
So far, very sweet and not bitter - even when allowed to get enormous due to user error (read: my laziness).
Not quite as bold as your typical slicing cuke, but do really well in a briney cucumber salad."

"On a whim last year I planted these cukes. I had more cucumbers than I knew what to do with. They had a nice mild flavor and were wonderful in salads and in refrigerator pickles. I gave many away (no one knew what they were!) and had many comments on how good they were."
