I had a little helper helping me to plant my garden and twice the number of cucumbers were planted. TheVERY helpful planter couldn't remember which color seed had gone into what hole. So, I ask you, the veritable fountains of knowledge that you are, which is which. Inside knowledge - She has a tendancy to put thing in alphabetical order which would make those on the left Lemon and right Armenian.

On the left - thick pale green first leaves with paler veining, perfect little gourdy shapes - on the right, darker (about the color of green grass) twisted first leaves, similar in shape and amount of irregularity.

I have two somebodies that want the over-planted cukes, but they are both adamant that they do not want "the wrong kind".

Any ideas?

I can take pictures if we need them.

Thanks for any help you can provide - ljh

My Armenians are quite pale green compared to the Lemons and other cukes I have.
