These were a great find!
Honestly, I've been meaning to grow some of these varieties, but just haven't got around to it yet. While in town on some errands, I ran into some folks pushing around a cart full of produce. Just check out these baby watermelons!
Okay, actually they are a type of little cucumber. I've seen them before, but never had the pleasure of growing them yet. While heading to a gathering with steemians like @dwells, @theleadingbrand, @beardo, @essentialoilmom, and @jeejee, I figured I'd try a three cucumber salad and see what people thought.
INTERESTING CUCUMBERS
The one cucumber probably looks the most familiar to you. It's that long green one. However, the round yellow one and the little ones that look like baby watermelons are also different kinds of cucumbers.
It's interesting once you move away from the mass-produced super market varieties of produce and shift into the wild array of other options found on various homesteads and at local farmers markets. While I like the "regular" things too, I love variety and just being amazed at the different kinds of foods available.
Combined together, these cucumbers made for a wild variation of a traditional salad, and it was certainly a hit. Of course we love eating fresh, raw foods, but everyone else enjoyed it too! I like introducing people to wholesome new things, and this was another opportunity.
So, have you ever encountered this variety of cucumber before? If not, would you like to? If so, how did you enjoy it? Has anyone ever grown these?

No, these are a bit more tart, but still similar.

It's amazing the difference between produce, meat, eggs, from a super market vs from a small farm or homestead.
It's also amazing all the varieties of fruits and veggies we never see. I used to spend a lot of time down in Jamaica and they used to have a lot of stuff I've never seen back here in the states. One particluarly interesting fruit was "Jamaican Apples"

Only seen them in pictures, this year I grew the dragon egg cucumber! What kind of yield do you get? A lot from just one plant? If so sign me up as I have limited space!
