Lemon cucumbers are heirloom variety of cucumbers. They are round in shape and yellow in color. It is believed to have been introduced to the USA in the late 1800s. Lemon cucumber does not have a lemon taste at all, it only looks like one. It has a flavor little milder than a regular cucumber. One benefit of this cucumber is that you can eat it all at one sitting with no halves left to store in the fridge. We found the plants to be prolific and is a good choice for cooler climates. It is also less apt to develop bitterness. This is the cucumber often seen in ethnic Indian markets (budamkaya). To save space, give the vigorous plants a fence to climb. You can easily grow this plant in a pot with a 5 to 6 foot trellis

It looks like you have 4 plants in the container, is that right? How large is the container you are using? Thank you for such an informative video! :)

Can you save their seeds? How would you recommend saving them?

I swear I have tried growing this for the past 4 years with no luck. Last summer was the first year I ended up with tons of flower but now fruit. The striped beetles keep killing it off. I grow a ton of other things in my garden with no issues but cumber have never worked for me 😭😭😭

Thank you for this video, I planted lemon cucumbers at home but didn't know when to harvest them.

HURRY UP AND BUY! SLURPEES!

wow,this is the first time I've heard about lemon cucumber!I didn't know it exist. I want to plant this too.. I'm always inspired to grow fruits and vegetables because of your videos!
does lemon cucumber grows in a tropical country? I'm from Philippines and I want to try it.

First time have seen this

thank you for your video. It answer quite a few questions I had for the lemon cucumber plant. Good luck on your garden this year.

I watched ur video of Taro root growing. I loved it. It looks easy to grow. Can I grow it in grow bags. Taro root is my favourite vegetable n I always purchase these. I am going to try growing it :-)

you grow so many things do you have lots of space indoor as well as outside?

Thanks for the video. I am going to try it for the fall. Now to find seeds...

the 1080p looks beautiful man, great video! looks very tasty

I really like these cucumbers but I have a lot of trouble growing vines (squash, pumpkins, cucumbers). I grew these lemon cucumbers in an area with direct sunlight and they gave me some fruit but then the vines and leaves dried up fast. I am currently testing three new lemon cucumber plants: (1) direct sunlight, (2) container (like yours), and (3) one with sun/and part shade. So far the one with sun/shade is doing well and climbing. The all-sunny ones want to dry up and are growing slowly. Hoping the container ones start growing soon.

yes! i will thanks.

Loved this video. Thought about what kind of varieties of cucumber to grow since my daughter loves them, next thing I know, you have a video! Great timing.

I was also wondering, if possible, could you please do a video on your current watering system (how it's set up and what it looks like) I've only seen your video on how to convert an old sprinkler system, but I'm looking for more information. I'm really new to vegetable gardening so I'm a little confused on this process. Anyway, thanks so much for all your wonderful and informative videos!

I found your video very relaxing,the music,your voice and the greenery and very informative,thanks!

Interesting variety. Thank you for showing us detailed review of this variety :)

I am going to try this lemon cucumber. I will wait until the trains are done here in Florida because of the fungus problem. Thank you California Gardening.

wow! it looks great. I want to try growing it. Can I get this variety seeds in India. weather is fine here.

This is a first. First time I'm not too crazy about one of your videos. 😏
