Extraordinaire is an unusual, crunchy thin-skinned cucumber, with a bright lime-green glow. Extraordinaire is a juicy, exceptionally fragrant, irresistible snack. 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. The fragrance in all honesty is what led me to save these seeds. A cucumber with aromatic properties, now I couldn't contain myself, so I kept on saving based on my nose. 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.
