## Description

Mini Thumb Watermelon Fruit Vegetables Seeds 60+ Cucamelon Mexican Sour Gherkin Melothria scobra for Home Garden Outdoor Yard Farm Planting

## Features

- 🍉Direct-seed Mexican sour gherkins into a garden bed to which a 3-inch layer of compost has been tilled into the ground. Sow about six seeds in groups, or circles, that are 12 inches apart. Within each circle, plant the seeds about 2 inches from one another. Sow at the depth recommended on the seed packet -- generally about 1 inch.
- 🍉Mexican sour gherkin cucumbers, otherwise referred to as cucamelon, mouse melon and in Spanish, sandita or little watermelon.
- 🍉Gardeners in warmer, Mediterranean climates can often skip the extra work of raising Mexican sour gherkin seedlings by direct-seeding the intriguing veggies in April or May. Direct-seed Mexican sour gherkins into a garden bed to which a 3-inch layer of compost has been tilled into the ground.
- 🍉Then let’s learn how to plant Mexican sour gherkins in the home garden. These open pollinated heirlooms can be direct sown in warmer regions in April or May or started indoors earlier for late spring transplantation. Select a site in full sun.
- 🍉Remove from the heat and steep until the liquid is warm--not hot. Add 1 cup gherkins, cool completely, and chill. Keep them jarred in the fridge--they will stay good for 2-3 weeks. If you have un-pickled gherkins left over, chop them up and throw them into salsa or gazpacho.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What do they taste like**
A: they taste like cucumber with a hint of lime

**Q: What are the zones for this plant?**
A: It's actual name is Mexican sour gherkin, which probably would have made finding out a bit easier.
They grow in zones 2-11, so almost anywhere. They're a perennial, and that 2-11 range doesn't hold so well here. I grow in containers (no choice, I butt up against a protected wetlands with a 250 acre regional park less than a 2 minute walk in the other direction, so what doesn't get eaten gets trampled if it's in the ground) and because all my plantings are above ground anything that is susceptible to hard freezing won't survive the winter. If this isn't a problem for you then look up mexican sour gherkin for steps the steps that will help them come back. (Sorry I'm no help on that, but I quit looking when I saw the part about the ground freezing solid)

**Q: How long do these take to germinate? Seeds received on 3/30 and planted same day in seed starter under a 12 hour grow light on a heat mat. Nothing!**
A: Our first seeding did not take. The package says 10 days. We are going to replant,....

**Q: Can I plant these in a container indoors with a grow light?**
A: I try growin. In a seed try to tranfer to the groun. But they never came up bad seed. Not work gettin is a waste off money and time. They come from china.
