Tender and soft cucumbers = no good / not delicious. Crunchy and hard cucumbers = very good and delicious
yes I am Armenian aswell and we have large cucumbers
I'm obsessed with cucumber mint lemonade so I'm mad I'm in AZ and cant run to this farm
I love the advice for turning oversized cucumbers into juice.
"I like feelin things up." lol… #metoo moment for the plants! Watch out!
Armenian cucumbers are great. If you live somewhere hot and dry, just dont bother with the other ones. They'll get fried while this one will happily be pumping out fruit until November. Although I did have luck with one lemon cucumber plant this year to my surprise.
Woohoo
Hard to compete with a cuc,
No arguments here
My grandmother grew these in west Texas for decades before she passed. She called them quay. We ate them at every meal with vinegar and salt but the best way she ever made them was a hot spicy pickle. Because they are more fleshy and less seedy, they stand up to pickling and don't get mushy like cucumbers can. Btw, her sweet pickles were always water melon rinds. And her bread and butters and were regular cukes. We live in harsh New Mexican eastern plains. I didn't realize they could grow in our area so def on the planting list for spring. Thank for highlighting these super cool cucumber. Had no idea what the official name was. This helps a lot finding seeds. Hers grew long and big, no stripes. Pale green.
Hi John, I watched your aloe video and was impressed! How much should i consome?
