Description
(C. melo) A sweet round cucumber-melon with smooth crisp light green skin. The white interior reveals a savory tender flesh that is bitter-free and does not cause indigestion as other cucumbers can. Growth habit is spread out. A drought-resistant variety that does well in most places, including hot climates. Seed packet includes 24 seeds and growing instructions.

I didn’t know what to expect from these, as I had never grown a C. melo before, but I have to say that these are a highlight in my garden this summer. Crisp, clean, beautiful to look at and easily the best tasting cucumber I have grown in my garden. Very much a low, sprawling plant, the yield isn’t as dense as the lemon cucumbers, but the taste and appearance more than make up for it.

Dear Russ,
Thank you so much for your feedback! I am so glad you are enjoying them. The Fasano or Cianciuffo is one of the very favorites of many of my Italian friends.
