Yes, this season I have been introduced to the lemon cucumber and I LOVE them! My neighbor has been bringing me some fresh from her garden. (Thank you Lisa!) I recently started a garden also, both vegetable and herb. SO, I can actually say that all the vegetables and seasonings minus the salt, pepper, olive oil and vinegar are fresh right out of a garden. If you haven’t tried either…..you don’t know what you are missing!
