  • Leeks
  • Yellow Wax Beans
  • Slicing Cucumbers
  • Golden Beets with Greens
  • 1 Garlic Head

Armenian Striped Cucumber*

These Armenian Cucumbers are really crunchy, and sweet
but certainly not uniform!
You will receive one of these beauties whether long and curled or short and straight.
The skin is very thin and great to eat so don't peel them.

    • Pristine Apples (a nice early summer variety! sweet - tart)
    • Nectarines
    • Apricots
    • Peaches

      This is turning out to be a great potato and onion year for us!
