Armenian Cucumber

Description
Armenian cucumbers are a wonderful summer treat. They are actually not cucumbers at all, they are technically a melon, but have all of the wonderful cucumber flavor without any bitterness. The fruits grow to 2 to 3 feet, but they are best if harvested at 12" to 15". Grow on a trellis for straighter fruits.
