Lemon Heirloom Cucumber
Growing Lemon Heirloom Cucumber
‘Lemon’ is a distinctive heirloom cucumber prized for its bright lemon-yellow color, round shape, and sweet, mild flavor. The small fruits have a crisp texture with a classic cucumber taste and a subtle hint of nuttiness, while remaining pleasantly free of bitterness. Their unusual appearance makes them a standout in both the garden and the kitchen.
Start ‘Lemon’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly in the garden about ½ inch deep. Space plants about 12 inches apart and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs well in warm growing conditions, though it tends to bear later than many other cucumbers.
Ready to harvest in about 65 days, begin picking the fruits while they are still small, firm, and tender for the best texture and flavor. Harvest regularly to encourage continued production and maintain peak quality.
Sweet, crisp, and unique, ‘Lemon’ is excellent for pickling, salads, fresh slicing, and snacking.
