Delicious when eaten fresh and excellent for pickling. The Armenian cucumber (Cucumis melo var. flexuosus) belongs to the melon family (C. melo) and is closely related to cucumbers. A good source of vitamins C and K, as well as magnesium. The fruit can grow up to 90 cm but tastes best when harvested at around 20–30 cm. Picking at this stage also encourages continuous production.

Planting and growing tips: Placing the seeds in water for 24 hours before putting them into the soil will speed up the germination process. This cucumber is an easy-to-grow plant, that loves the sun and moderate watering, however, the better the soil, the quicker and better it will grow. It doesn’t like to sit in water so a well-drained position is best. All our edibles grow happily and quickly in raised garden beds. Mulching around the plants is recommended.
