I was going to try some lemon cucubers this year.
The seed pack from linvngston seed does not mention
if they vine. Would these be good to grow on a garden
trellis. Not ate the lemon before sound tasty.
They do vine. They were one of the most prolific veggies I had last year. The spread like crazy and produced a lot of fruit. I didn't trellis them but I really should have as the decided to go from the bed they were in to the bed I had lettuce in.
Also, I love the unique flavor of them even though they are ugly!

Weellll, I'll just say this: I find it important to eat them before they look much like a lemon. They will yellow more and more but, while that's going on, the seeds will be developing inside.
I think they are best just when they become kind of shiny . . . and round. But, they are still green.

They probably did cross pollinate but that only affects the seeds. The flesh is part of the mother plant.
Corn is the only vegetable you have to worry about for cross pollination affecting what you eat because 1) your are eating seeds, and 2) the "sweet" gene is recessive so pollen from dominant starchy field corn really screws up your picnic.
