Field Notes

Description:

The vine isn't healthy in this picture but it looks like a cucumber plant. Flowers are like a cucumber as well. Except the fruit looks more like a melon. I tried one once before and it was bitter.

What an interesting cultivar! I guess I assumed it wasn't a cucumber because I didn't find it in a garden and it looks so different from the long green cucumbers I'm used to. Thanks Seema!
