  • Crystal Ball

    At what size do you harvest Crystal Lemon cucumber please? I took one off last week that was a bit bigger than a snooker ball and it was tasty, but more seeds than flesh. It's the first time I've grown them.

    I too have the Crystals & have found that when they appear round - if that makes sense - is the time to pick them. Also, I've picked early & late & they all taste delicious. It seems a matter of preference to size!

      According to the info I found, you harvest them at just bigger than golf ball. I then had to find out what size a golf ball was! I think I've harvested mine at slightly bigger than that TBH. They do have a lot of seeds but I think they are just a nice bit of the texture.

      PS. I just don't have enough time to say hello to everyone as they join so please take this as a delighted to see you here!

        I have Crystal Apple and have been harvesting them at slightly over golf ball size (think small apple)..

        My 4 year old walks around the garden eating them as if they were apples actually!!

        Very prolific cropper too...
