Why are my cucumbers white?

Aug 07, 2008 2 Replies

They taste fine. Early in the season they were bitter...very bitter, but now they taste fine. Now they are almost white, w/ some streaky light green. What causes them to be this color. I didn't buy a white cucumber, I got them from lowe's, and they were supposed to be a regular green cuke! It's not bothering me, as I said they taste fine, kinda bland actually. I'm just curious. I live in TN. We've been getting a decent amount of rain this year. But it has been hot.


Shade?

Seed packaging error?

1) They are actually white cucumbers. 2) They are green cucumbers that are sun bleached.
