A delicious, silky textured cucumber-like melon originally from the Greek island of Chios. The mild, lightly honey-sweet flesh is velvety soft. A superb heat-tolerant cucumber substitute. Our seeds were shared with us from the St. Nektarios Greek Orthodox Monastery gardens in Roscoe, NY. We have shared seeds with this monastery garden in the past and were delighted when they sent us seeds for this large, lightly fuzzy cucumber-like melon. The vines are vigorous and heat loving, producing masses of these “cukes\" that are very similar to Armenian cucumber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Xylangouro Melon cucumbers are heat-loving vines that produce elongated, sweet-tasting fruits with a hint of melon flavor. Though botanically a melon, it is grown and eaten like a cucumber. These vigorous plants benefit from trellising, rich soil, and consistent moisture. For the best taste and texture, harvest fruits young before full melon ripening occurs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511658709278,"sku":"OML118","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/cucumber_xylangouro_melon.jpg?v=1782403267","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.com\/products\/cucumber-xylangouro-melon","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
