Extraordinaire

Extraordinaire is a green crunchy thin-skinned cucumber, with a bright lime-green glow. Extraordinaire is juicy, exceptionally fragrant, irresistible for snacking. In fact, besides the unusual bright white skin, the remarkable smell wafts from the medium sized fruits. Yields are moderately heavy, but uniformity and delicious cucumber melon flavors accompany a tender taste, without spines or burs. For farmer’s market sales, Extraordinaire is eye-catching. Patrons will fall for the undeniable smell, and remember an unfound flavor not common with modern day cucumbers. Plants maintain a bumper crop with proper support. Vines on this plant form more like a strong single leader, and can be made to create a canopy, enveloping medium size, and smooth leaves. This cucumber is an exception, and unusual. I maintain the production of  Extraordinaire as a novelty, extra unordinary, as other varieties just can’t compare in terms of quality.
