Making a pie time, with the late summer bounty.

My late summer bounty = lemon cukes. Seriously, there are so many that they turned into party favors at the pie party. freyley did a tour and picked an armload

Thank you thank you. Our lemon cucumber plant, while much smaller than yours, has...many cucumbers growing up, plus we still have the bunch that freyley grabbed from your place. I think this pie will be on the menu. SO delicious.

My other fave thing to do with the lemon cukes (other than eat them out of hand on hot days) is slice 'em up and serve them with a small pile of salt and cayenne, for dipping-snacking.

OMG that sounds incredible! Next time I am dropping by just to snack :)

Why are lemon cukes so expensive at markets when they grow like this?

[ideath]

non. standard. product. a risk for growers because not everyone recognizes them, therefore, very niche. cucumbers are supposed to be dark green, 6 - 10 inches long, and covered with a thick layer of food-grade wax (and perhaps a condom).

but if you want lemon cukes, seriously, come'n'get 'em.
