Dragon's Egg Cucumber

Whole family loves this cucumber. Working into our 3rd year growing these and they have always been easy and dependable. My young kids love these and often prefer them to traditional cukes. Have a nice mild flavor that is great alone or used in any way you would otherwise use different cucumber varietals.

I planted these to encourage my daughter, who is a picky eater but loves cucumbers, out in the garden with me. She enjoyed the fun shape and flavor; we found the seeds a bit tough, but easily removed. The crop continued to produce late in the season and we will plant again.

These are almost as tasty as Lemon Cucumbers but are much less spikey and the plants take less room but are more prolific. It's now the only cucumber I grow! And how awesome is that name, right? So fun to tell people it's a Dragon's Egg cucumber!

While we have loved everything we've purchased from Baker Creek, the Dragon's Egg Cucumbers have been our absolute favorite. The kids cannot get enough of these - which is great - because boy were these plants prolific. They grew easily, beautifully, and produced through the end of Septemeber.

I love these. Easy to grow. I think they produced pretty early and went until November. The kids pick them and eat them whole. I'll definitely be growing these again and skipping the lemon cucumbers.
