There are several cucumber varieties available to the backyard vegetable gardener. Some are tried and true standards, others are more exotic.
This is a list of varieties or cultivators of cucumber, a widely cultivated vine in the gourd family, Cucurbitaceae. The cucumber vine bears edible fruit.
List of cucumber varietie
Varieties
Aardvark Cucumber
The aardvark cucumber (Cucumis humifructus), also known as aardvark pumpkin, is a kind of cucumber from southern Africa which fruits underground. It is reliant on the aardvark to eat the fruit in order to spread and re-bury the seeds of the plant.
Babylon
Babylon is a Mediterranean type slicing cucumber that produces smooth, slightly ribbed cylindrical fruit. Pick small (4-5" in length) for optimal flavor and texture. Babylon is unbelievably sweet and crunchy, thin-skinned and has tiny white spines. The seeds and seed cavity are small as compared to a standard slicing type.
Bella
Elongated, slender fruits with a crisp texture and the sweet, refreshing flavor of summer. Plants produce absolutely bitter-free cucumbers and even when they get 8 inches long, they remain a slim 3/4 inch wide. Wonderful for fresh eating or cucumber salads. Also performed well in our outdoor trials.
Burpless 26
This straight cucumber grows up to 12 inches long, sporting a deep dark green skin with a squeaky-smooth surface. Also known as a "slicing cucumber", this fruit is great for a myriad of applications from pickling to simly slicing and incorperating into a salad.
Burpless Tasty Green
This is a space-saving form of the favorite Burpless Hybrid. Short vines grow about 2 feet long — long enough to trellis if desired. Fruit is straight and cylindrical for easy slicing. Eat these delicious cukes fresh, pickled, or sliced into salads. Excellent for small gardens and containers.
