Growing Lemon Cucumbers

05/04/2012

This is my first year growing lemon cucumbers and boy are they delicious. They are very crisp and sweet.

They are small and round, about 3 1/2 inches long, and well worth the effort to grow. They turn a lemon-lime color with yellow stripes when mature. They are great in summer salads, and because of their thin skins they make great pickles.

I have come to "love" heirlooms: vintage varieties that have been preserved by passing seed down from generation to generation.

The Bean King

My grandparents have been growing heirloom McCaslan beans for many years. My grandfather, Woody, was known as "The Bean King" in Lenoir, North Carolina.

Woody, "The Bean King"

At 75 years of age, he harvested 47 five-gallon buckets of McCaslan beans and was featured in the local newspaper (above). He is pictured 12 feet off the ground along a 50 foot wall of beans.
