The cucumbers have started riping. These are a wonderful cucumber. The 'Poona Kheera' (Cucumis sativus): is a Crisp, juicy, sweet and mild, this heirloom cucumber from India. It has potato-shaped fruit that looks sort of like a melon. Strong, disease-resistant vines with heavy yield. Stays crisp and sweet weeks after harvest. Sun. Hybrid. 60 days from sowing to maturity. This has grown better than expected and will be again grown in my garden.
I made a simple cucumber salad and plan to make some other salad with it in the future and planning to try making pickles with it to see how they come out.
