Todd,

Could these be Lemon Cucumber? If they are, edible at all stages. I wouldn't let them get any bigger than a hand ball.

Maybe this will help? These are lemon cucumbers.

Now you make them sound like Sour Gherkin.

May be Eric, you are way more experienced than I am, but I was thinking maybe a second generation cross between slicer and lemon. What are the possibilities if any of that?

Lemon cucumber is light green like a honeydew when small golfball sized.
