Cucumber Cucamelon Seeds in Pictorial Packet from a UK Seller Cute Fruits with Unique Crunch & Flavour

About This Product

Is it an exceptionally small cucumber or the world’s cutest watermelon? That is the question. Melothria scabra, known as 'Cucamelon' or 'Mouse melon' is a tiny melon that has been creating a buzz in the farmer’s markets. The fruits are small enough to fit into a teaspoon, yet bite into one and the flavour is pure cucumber with a refreshing tinge of lime. Its unique flavour, its pest-free and rampant habit of growth, not to mention its huge productivity, all conspire to recommend this unusual vine to home gardeners looking for something new to add to their menus. Sow under cover (protected/heated) from Mid spring, 3-4 seeds 1/2in deep in a 3 inch pot in good compost. (These will not germinate in cold/damp conditions, use a propagator or warm windowsill) Transplant no later than 3 weeks after seeding as they have a tap root that can be easily damaged. Best under glass but will grow outdoors in a sheltered sunny spot.

Every seed germinated. The plants are now 3 feet high and very bushy. I have hundreds of fruits already. Very vigorous growth, climbing up canes. Very pleased with these and will definitely buy again for next year.
