Overview
Yellow Submarine is an open-pollinated cucumber from Seminis Vegetable Seeds, introduced in 2001 for home gardens in the United States. Its distinguishing feature is fruit color: skins run from very pale green to yellow instead of the usual dark green, so it stands out in a basket. The breeder classes it as a pickling type with a small seed cell, though seed catalogs also offer it as a slicer with fruit around 8 inches, so it can be picked small for brine or left to grow for the table. Maturity is mid to late, around 60 days, on a sturdy plant. It is compared to Carnito and is listed as disease resistant, though specific resistances are not named. A fun choice for gardeners who want something different in color without changing how they grow cucumbers.
