Armenian cukes

Tracydr · June 16, 2011

The other cucumber that I'm finding very heat resistant is the lemon cucumber. I haven't had fruit yet as the plants are only three weeks old but the vines are very strong, dark green, big and never wilt in full sun, even yesterday when it was 107. Looking forward to having another cucumber variety for snacking.
Does anybody have a heat resistant pickling cuke to recommend? I'm going to try growing fall pickling cukes but so far I've not found the magic formula for pickling cucumbers in AZ. I may just have to satisfy my pickle cravings with pickled okra, which is very good, buts it's nice to have a pickled cucumber sometimes, too.
