Can it be true? A cucumber that loves hot weather! While this plant's fruits look and taste like cucumbers, it's really a cousin of muskmelons. When you slice into it, you'll catch a faint aroma that tells you of its true heritage. Just remember to pick them when they're about the size of English cucumbers. They can get a lot bigger, but then they start to toughen up. Choose it because summer is the best time to eat cucumber, but not the best time to grow the common ones.
