Cucumbers
The largest cuke was grown in Australia in 1988
and weighed in at a mind pickling 59 pounds!
Fresh cucumbers taste so much better than store-bought ones and each variety has a unique flavour. The inner temperature of a cucumber can be 20 degrees cooler than the outside air. The cucumber originated in Asia Minor and spread globally. The Romans grew them and the Bible refers to them. In the late 1500's The Plains Indians and Iroquois obtained cucumbers from the Spanish by barter, learning how to grow these alongside the corn, beans and pumpkins they already grew.
Armenian
Trellis this heirloom cucumber for the straightest, extra-long juicy fruits. Pale green skin so thin it doesn't need peeling, the fruits are borne on vigorous vines and produce even in the heat of summer! Try Armenian for something a little different this season. Technichally a melon (Cucumis melo var. flexuosus), the flesh of this fruit looks and tastes like cucumber, so that's how it is treated.
