Between the thin skin which eliminates the need for peeling and the burp-less quality this is a great cuke for salads. I especially like it sliced and salted then pickled in vinegar with a sliced red onion but it is also great in sour cream or just on top of a green salad. It has performed well in our garden, early and yet lasts in the summer heat.

I bought a pack of these because it said they could tolerate the heat. In Phoenix, that is a must, so I gave them a try. These cucumbers defied even my wildest expectations. They grew fast, set tons of fruit, and held their own up to 115 degrees! I had 4 plants in 4x8 raised bed, and it couldn't contain all them. They climbed the 6 foot trellis that I made for them, and proceeded to spill out across the yard, setting more and more fruit. Sometimes there were so many leaves that I couldn't see a fruit growing under them until it had grown to absurd sizes, the largest of which clocked in at 26 inches long and almost 4" in diameter. I keep flowering basil nearby to attract bees, so I didn't have any problem having the flowers pollinated. At any point, there were many baby cucumbers growing which go from tiny and thumb sized to foot long and ready to pick within days. My only complaint is HOW fast they grow; so many times I'd have my eye on one, forget about it over the weekend, and come back and it's volume has increased considerably. This doesn't change the taste, but the wider they are, the larger the (admittedly soft) seeds get. But by that point there were several others ready to pick, so its hard to complain. The plants downfall came when temperatures hit over 120 this year, and several older cucumbers split and leaked from the stress after watering on a hot day. I removed the plant as it had done its job, and tilled over the area for the fall. Much to my surprise, in early September when I mixed manure in for the fall crop, seedlings from the cucumber that split in the summer began to emerge! This new crop again took off quickly and set fruit just as fast. Sadly, our nighttime temperatures are now down to the 50s, and the plant, while not dying, has stopped setting as many fruit, and the ones that do set are stunted or not growing. So for our friends in cooler states, sorry to say this may be ONLY a June/July plant for you, as it simply cant tolerate even the mildest of colds. For us hot state folk, do yourself a favor and buy these seeds! You, and your neighbors will thank you!

Hardy plant -- grows beautiful long cucumbers with edible peel.

I planted 4 or so of these and I had a near 100% germination rate. They grew fast and I found myself constantly needing to add additions to my support system to give it room to grow. Unfortunately, the summer heat in my area killed it before I ever got any fruit, but that's not really the plants fault.

These are the cucumbers we eat when visiting family in Lebanon. I've had a great experience this summer with my plants. Lots of fruit, grows very quickly.

All seeds planted sprouted and grew. These are my favorite cucumbers! Whether I buy these seeds in a store or from your site directly ,they all germinate and grow delicious cucumbers!

We planted too many and they took over the place. Loved the cucumbers in salads. Very easy to grow so only plant 3 seeds next time.

Excellent producer with great taste even in the heat. It's the first cucumber that I've tried to make it all the way through the summer heat here. Our summers are 105+ and the heat did not affect the taste at all.

didn't do well for me

Finally, a cucumber that grows well in SW. Best tasting cuke, not bitter.

Directly sown, super easy/fast germination in poor soil, growth/fruit pretty much on schedule. Some daytime leaf wilt in the most extreme of June temps (110-115 degrees) but always bounced back. Will definitely consume a garden space without a large trellis (and even then they tend to wander). Just one or two plants more than sufficient for us. Still produced solidly even with the poor soil, and the fruits themselves were crunchy, mild, and tasty. I know they say these are technically melons, but the texture/taste nevertheless reminds slightly of English cucumbers. Overall, one of the few veggies that can withstand the brutal summer temps of AZ.

Weren't as prolific as previous years. Maybe because it was so wet here. The cukes that did grow were delicious.

Sowed these several times over the season and never even got a sprout.

I'll buy this one again. It came on later than the slicers (fine with me because it extended the harvest window.) It performed well in the horridly hot summer of 2021 in the high desert of Arizona. Tasty, crunchy, no need to peel. Grow them on a trellis so they hang down straight, and harvest before they get huge. A winner!

The plants grew quickly and were thick with big leaves and beautiful yellow flowers...which never turned in to anything. The plants were gorgeous and flowered into the fall, the bees and butterflies loved the flowers, but not a single cucumber was produced. I'm not sure what happened here, but they looked very promising.

They didn't fair well at all. Plants germinated well but they got a fungus. Never got blossoms.

10 feet vines, but no fruit. I have no idea what's going on. My cucumbers and melons have all set fruit, but nothing from the Armenian cucumber seeds I've planted. I'm very disappointed.

Not only are they the most delicious and crisp cucumbers I've ever eaten, but also great germination rate and so fun to watch grow! I even (some how) managed to have one hide on me for so long that by the time I found it it had grown nearly 3 feet long, super wide, and weighed over 3 lbs! My kids got a good laugh out of that!

Grow well in our Colorado altitude. They have a unique and enjoyable taste. They are meatier than a typical cucumber, very filling. These seeds germinated great and great beautifully over an arched trellis. Prolific.
