Armenian Cucumber (C. melo var flexousus)
FINE STAGIONE
Armenian Cucumber (C. melo var Flexousus): we follow the trail of the flexousus melons that came to us from Asia, like the Xylangouro, which stopped in Greece to arrive at our Tortarello Abruzzese .
Eaten while still unripe like cucumbers, they have a decidedly sweeter flavor and a less watery pulp. This variety in particular is among the oldest known of the typology, not for nothing does it come from what is considered the cradle of the species.
The advantage over smaller varieties is the speed of growth, on the other hand it tends to become too large and tough at the same speed, but don't worry, the plant is very productive, you will have plenty of harvest before they got to full maturity.
Staggered sowing is recommended to ensure fresh cucumbers.
Particularly suitable for those who find it difficult to grow cucumbers: the plant is rustic and resistant to fungal infestations, it can be grown without any particular care.
