There were some people asking about the cucamelon I grow in my garden. They are also known as Mexican Sour Gherkin, mouse melon, and miniature watermelon. They are a frost tender, fast growing vine that is a member of the melon/gourd family. The fruit looks just like a tiny watermelon and they taste like a mild cucumber with lime. They are prolific and are a huge hit with my grandsons straight off the vine!
Thank you for sharing this post Netty. I'm still eager to try these - I'm hoping next year as I won't need to grow peppers next year. They are cute little things aren't they. Did you grow ground cherries this year Netty?
Yes, sort of. I didn't actually sow any seeds, but I ended up with several volunteers! They are kind of an acquired taste
