Fuzzy, Round, Grows on a vine, help me identify...

11 years ago

So here's a picture of what I have growing and I am curious because no other google images have cucumbers that look like this ....these are "special" they're odd. I WAS 100% sure this was cucumber vines but now I wonder what the heck I planted. Note: the sticks are part of a homemade trellis..

Looks sort of like a Mandurian round cucumber...you did say it was special! Maybe that's a possibility.

Not sure I can post the link here but there's a good profile article about them on a site called Mid-Atlantic Gardening.

But I haven't been able to grow them again from the seeds I saved. It was two seasons ago.
