Armenian Cucumbers

Seed Count: Approx. 20 seeds Days to Maturity: 50-75 Days Description:  The Armenian cucumber looks and tastes like a cucumber, but botanically it is a muskmelon.  It is very different from the Snake gourd, and they should not be confused with each other.  Its tasty flesh is crisp, crunchy, burpless, and never bitter.  The light green, heavily ribbed fruits grow to up to 3 ft. long, but taste best when harvested between 1-2 ft.  The skin is very thin and bumpless, so it's rarely peeled, and the seeds stay pretty tender, regardless of its big size.  It even has a pleasant cantaloupe like aroma once sliced.  The flesh has mild cucumber flavor, and is denser than other varieties, with less water content.  It's crispness is perfect for salads, sandwiches, dips, sushi, and makes great pickles.  If grown on a trellis, they will be nice and straight, however, if grown on the ground, it'll twist into unique shapes.   The vigorous vines are productive, and high yielding, and definitely a must
