Cucumber, Mideast Peace

50-60 days. Middle Eastern/Eastern Mediterranean type (bright green skin, smooth, mild flavor) cucumber with amazing sweet flavor, texture, productivity and appearance. Nobody needs to grow the American type (dark-green, bumpy, prone to bitterness) of cukes when there are delicious gems like this. Thin light-green skin is remarkably durable and tender. The 6-7" fruits can be picked small for pickling or sized up for salad and slicing. The production is early and prolific even in cool weather. One interesting trait of Middle Eastern types is that they keep very well and taste great even when the skin gets a little wrinkled. A selection developed by Dr. Alan Kapuler of Peace Seeds in Corvallis, Oregon.
