I have grown dozens of Carosello varieties. I love each of them and especially love the Italian friends I have made while visiting Puglia.

I tried to bring the seeds back to NYC when I was living there, but no luck! Where are you? Must be California.

Yes. I have been growing these for many years and have a couple dozen Carosello varieties that I offer. If I could only find high quality seed anywhere else, I would not have to grow it all myself. Should you look me up and send me an email, I'm happy to send you a packet of my favorite variety, the Carosello Leccese Striped or Meloncella Faciata di Salento.

I never knew there was so much to know about cucumbers (even without the inuendo)!

I could go all night! (about cucumbers)

I love a Japanese-style cucumber salad. Finely sliced and marinated in rice vinegar, sugar ( or honey), and sesame seed oil. Delicious!
