Default Mexican Sour Gherkin Cucumber

Well I guess it's not actually a cucumber but more of a melon.

I'm growing it this year and was wondering if anyone else was or has in the past.

I got the seeds from SSE.

Here is what they say:

Quote:
(Melothria scabra) Newly rediscovered heirloom. Produces abundant crops of 1-2" fruits that have the appearance of miniature watermelons, and fall off the vines when ripe. Sweet cucumber flavor, contrasted by a surprising sourness, as if they are already pickled! Great for growing on a trellis. 60-70 days.


here is how it looks in my garden
