Dragon's Egg Cucumber

These were a great attention getter at farmers' markets. Kids and adults both liked them. I snacked on them in the garden and while selling (helps with sales if you eat your own produce). Large ones had mature but still edible seeds.

I planted seeds of this cucumber later during the summer. It was during one of our heat waves. It grew fantastically and kept producing cucumbers. Every 2 days, I could go get a cucumber and each cucumber would last for 2 days because I would eat half for lunch at work and the other half the next day. The flavor was great too. No bitterness what so ever and there's a little sweetness to it. I would simply cut one half in 4 and sprinkle salt and pepper on it. I'm definitely trying again in 2019!

This cucumber was definitely a favorite out of my garden this year. It has a mild flavor and goes great with salads. The exterior is a creamy white with a slightly green interior. It was a prolific grower and I was able to give many away to family and friends. I will definitely buy more next year.

Have grown these 2 years now, can't say enough good about them. Huge vines, incredible yields of slightly greenish white fruits with skin so delicate you can eat right out of the garden. Not a pickling variety per se, but we have done as fridge pickles and water bath canned and they are delicious! Grew 2 vines this year and canned 12 quarts of pickles, ate tons in salads, pureed for a cold soup and STILL had more to give away and compost! Growing in rasied beds in zone 7. These and crystal apple are mainstays in our summer garden - we can even get a second round in during late summer/early fall.

So great, long small vines that liked climbing the tomato supports! Plentiful! Pickled some to see what happens! Will Plant again! Friends made mistake thinking they were squash and sauced them with garlic and said they were great, ha!
