Default offered: lemon cucumber seeds

Dear All,

I am eating the last of my lemon cucumbers and have been saving the seeds out of them - would anyone like any? These are cucumbers, but look like a lemon (round and yellow, about the size of a tennis ball). i've been enjoying puzzling people on the plot and taking them in to work.

I got these from a helpful grape last year and found they worked really well. I germinated them in my greenhouse and then grew some in the greenhouse and planted some outside - both did equally well.

See link below for picure, not mine I'm afraid, just taken from the internet.

Can I have a few please! I have never had much success with cuccumbers except for Achocha, which were very kindly given to me by a grape here. I have had a bumper crop of these and have saved loads of seeds as well. I can offer the achocha seeds for swap.

I grew one of these this year - it was really cute. Cucumber isn't really my thing but this one was small enough for me to work my way through before it went off. Hurrah!
