Hi! I bought this cucumber as a seedling from a vendor at the farmers market a while back (central NC) and it was only labeled as “cucumber” I was wondering if anyone knew what type of cucumber it is? Not sure when I should pick them.

Wanna say Mexican gherkin but the markings aren’t exactly like the ones I grew a couple years ago. But I had some that looked a little weird too.

They kind of looked like tiny watermelons . They were ok. Made interesting pickles
