Armenian Cucumbers

Every year I plant one new item in the garden (not new-just new to me) - My wife said she prefers this over Straight 8' and wants to plant them again. They're probably about as Armenian as German Potatoe Salad is German. If you haven't tried them, you might want to add them to next year's list.

Interesting, but they look a bit big for slicers.

Where did you buy the seeds?

I got seeds from Jung- I normally pick them smaller but this one was just fine, they’re super crisp with small seeds.
They grow well or best on a trellis according to the package- that’s how I grew them.

Armenian cukes (supposedly they're actually a form of immature melon) have much smaller sized seeds even when they get big. They usually get exceptionally long before they get overly fat. I think their flesh is a bit firmer than typical slicing cukes. I sell the longer ones for 50% more each than standard slicing cucumber at our local "farmers" market. Just have to get over the novelty aspect of them with people. The stinking bunnies ate the bases off about half the plants on that trellis so I have less this year than I expected.

Been growing them for years. They don't have don't give you the burps like Straight 8's do. I tried the striped Armenian cucumbers this season, I'm not liking them compared to the ones you are showing. I had one solid green one get away from me one time and it was 32" long by the time I found it. I tried growing them on a square trellis last year and that turned into a royal mess. Maybe a flat style trellis would be better. Had so much vines I couldn't find them easily. Went back to just letting them grow on the ground and spreading.

I got those same ones from Jungs this year Eagleye, I think they were a free trial packet.
Just picked a few of them today.

A common size, some are longer and skinnier and some get fatter, Armenian cucumber against a 20 oz bottle of pop. Some critters were chewing on the bottom of this one as it hung from my trellis so I'll cut off the bottom 6 inches or so and still have plenty of cuke meat with what's remaining.

We've grown them for years. We pick them when they are about 12", cut in half, spoon out the seeds, cut up, water/vinegar.
