Armenian
This variety is sweet, crisp and has a thin skin. The scallop shape is very attractive when sliced. The skins are thin enough that there is no need to peel it.
Diva
This cucumber is a modern hybrid. It is a dark green with a very smooth thin skin. It doesn't store well, and is best eaten right away. Don't worry though, they are sweet, crisp and so delicious they won't last long!
Lemon
This is my favorite cucumber we grow. It is an old-fashioned heirloom and doesn't look like a cucumber at all. It looks more like a lemon with prickles. Don't let the odd shap and color put you off. They are very mild and sweet. The larger they are, the sweeter. Just slice in have and scoop the seeds out with a spoon if you don't care for seeds. My family snacks on these like an apple.
Painted Serpent
This cucumber is an heirloom very similar to the Armenian. It has darker stripes between the scallop ridges. It is a good slicing cucumber.
Sweet Slice
This cucumber is a modern variety. It is a great slicer and good all around fresh eating cucumber.
