I don't know if they were local (Nova Scotian) or from farther away. I haven't tried them yet, but will male a salad and feature the lemon cucumber sliced thinly on top. Paid 99 cents each, so they are a little pricey ($CDN). I found lemon cucumbers at my local vegetable stand in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada on 15 September 2009.

I have a bunch on my counter right now and am madly peeling and slicing them for a greek style salad with red onions balsamic vinegar, olive oil and feta...yum! Oops! It's 2:00...better go check the garden, again! My husband planted these cute lemon cucumbers in our backyard. They do sprawl all over the garden and are extremely prolific.

And no bitterness what so ever. I can't wait for mine to just go crazy with fruit so I can make pickles and relish and can them...yum yum!!! I bought my 2 plants at my local hardware store...I didn't know what they were and said what the heck..I'll try and grow something new and different. Boy am I happy about it...I've been going into my garden every evening with a flashlight looking to see if I am getting any fruit from my lemon cucumber vine...watching them grow..finally I got brave and picked one tonight since I didn't really know when to pick them..cut it open and took a big bite...yum yum!!! Now I can't wait for the rest to ripen and grow!!! I get so impatient...lol I just ate my first lemon cucumber..if you don’t let the skin too dark and pick them early..the skin is just as yummy..not nasty tasting like other cucumbers I’ve had.

I just got a really unexpected treat that I had to share with you. A prolific gardener friend dropped by for the first time in months today. She brought me the extras that she had started from seed and been unable to fit in her garden: 10 varied heirloom tomato plants, a bell pepper plant, some thyme and... drumroll... two lemon cucumber plants!
