Dragon's Egg Cucumber

This cucumber is so fun to grow. My kids thought they were the best thing to come out of our little garden. It tastes really good, not bitter like some cucumbers I've grown. My plants weren't heavy producers but I was still satisfied with the look and the taste.

what an awesome sweet mild cuke. everyone from children to adults love these. produces plenty!! will grow again and again and again!!!

I have grown this one in planters with the strawberries right on the deck. LOVE IT. Prolific, unique, tolerant of the high deck heat. I've saved the seeds and they are viable. Love the flavor which isn't too bold. The skin is crisp. Really a nice plant for containers.

This has become my favourite fresh eating cuke by far. Productive, thin skinned, sweet, no hint of bitterness even when they get rather large. I picked most of them when they were about 2x larger than a chicken egg, but even the ones that got as big as my hand were delicious!

I love these cucumbers. I have grown them for 3 growing seasons and will continue to grow them as long as I garden. Pick them when smaller than a baseball, otherwise they can have large seeds. They are great in salads, eaten like an apple which is my favorite or made into refrigerator pickles which is my wife's favorite. They are a hit with friends and neighbors who have never seen or heard of them either (they have now as I have given them plenty due to them producing so prolifically).
