Cucumber, 'Lemon'

(Cucumis sativus) People go crazy for these fun little cukes at market, and for good reason. They have an irresistible crunch and great cucumber flavor. Nothing “lemony” about them other than their yellow color. Actually the small round fruits are at their best eating quality before they begin to turn bright yellow, a little bigger than the size of a golf ball. Vigorous but relatively compact branching vines. Kids love these!
