What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Bring color and crunch to your garden with Lemon Cucumber Seeds, a classic heirloom variety that produces small, round cucumbers with bright yellow skin and a clean, refreshing taste. Despite the name, these cucumbers have no citrus flavor—just a crisp, mild bite perfect for fresh salads, snacking, or light pickling.

Fruits average 2–4 inches in diameter and maintain a smooth, thin skin that’s tender and never bitter. Highly productive vines yield abundantly throughout the summer, offering a steady supply of beautiful, uniform fruit that adds both flavor and visual appeal to your harvest.

Bright, Productive, and Easy to Grow

  • Bright & Delicious: Lemon-sized yellow cucumbers with a sweet, mild flavor and crisp texture.
  • Highly Productive Vines: Monoecious heirloom plants produce generously all season long.
  • Grow with Ease: Thrives in raised beds, traditional gardens, or large containers.
  • Versatile Harvest: Great for slicing, salads, pickling, or eating fresh right off the vine.
