anyone heard of these. . . Cuke-alopes? my step-grandfather said he had heard of these on the radio,some lady had crossed a cantalope with a cucumber-maybe worth a try in the experiment garden eh? maybe not, can't say I'm craving a melon flavored pickle. . .yet.

ya, I heard about it. They say that the fruit produced is sweeter than a regualr cucumber but they kinda look like cukes.

Shannon, maybe you were thinking about a cuke-crossed with an antelope. One of those cucumbers with horns. LOL Something like a "Jack-A-Lope".
