    Lemon cucumbers are wonderful, I grew them the last 2 years, but I didn't get any planted this year.

    Nor I, CC. Just the name, Lemon Cucumber, sounds yummy.

    Speaking of lemon, I'm growing Lemon Basil this year and it's DELICIOUS. It smells and tastes lemony. I love it.

    I grow crystal apple cucumbers which are small, tennis ball sized, round cucumbers, very sweet and my daughter eats them whole like apples! I imagine the lemon cukes are similar.

    As for the peppers, you can certainly harvest some now whilst they are green - it looks from the photo that some are darker, more black? Peppers often turn blackish as they start to ripen to red. If you don't need them immediately, I would leave them on the plant, just taking them as you want them.

    I don't know about wrinkle removing but I do know the Lemon Cukes make really good sweet pickles. I grew them a couple of years ago, just had to remember to pick them before they were too large to fit in the pint jars I was using.
