Also known as the Lemon Apple Cucumber. Primrose coloured spherical fruits with unusual black spines. Requires less watering than its green counterparts. Very productive & quite hardy (does quite remarkably well outside) but pick young as they are bitter once mature. Excellent in cucumber sandwiches. Also known as the Lemon Apple Cucumber.

CULTURE – Sow seeds 2.5cm deep on their edge in May undercover in individual pots. Germinate at 20c+. Once plants establish plant out at 60cm (2ft) intervals, more space the better, as some can climb / trail for 3m (10ft). Can be harvested from 8 weeks. Prefers hot, rich, moisture retentive soil. Very frost sensitive & will respond well to additional feeding with natural fertilisers throughout the season. Keep well-watered & do not remove male flowers.
