Cucumber Seeds - Lemon

These baseball-sized heirlooms trade the standard cucumber shape for a unique, citrusy crunch that elevates any summer salad. They are remarkably easy to grow in small spaces, though you will have to sacrifice the traditional long-vine aesthetic for their compact, climbing habit.
