Plant a lemon tree, get lemons. Plant lemon cucumbers, gets not at all sour/bitter tasting baseball sized, round beautiful edible yellow skinned gems -  Space Dog Proverb. No, this isn’t some seed packet fortune cookie this lemon cucumber is a great alternative from the traditional long pickling cucumbers, great chopped into salads adding a sweet with a kick of citrus, or juggling and offering a stunning dark orange and stripped orb when fully ripened—we (me and the dog) highly suggest growing these for your first seed saving experience with just enough fruit and seed to create your own lemon cucumber seed stock. Now that’s good $4 investment! BTW, (by the way) accordingly to out 4am online research, this is a burpless variety (some “cucumbers have a higher level of cucurbitacin that reportedly increases the likelihood of burping” - this have legit never happened to me or my pickle crew with the varieties of cucumbers we’ve tried, but FYI, in case your are a burper and don’t have a diet Dr. Pepper or friend to blame. Nothing wrong with burping, we’re all gas bro.
