Melothria scabra 75 days. Also known as Mouse Melon or Cucamelon. An heirloom that packs a lot of flavor in an adorable, teaspoon-sized treat! These little charmers are like no other, combining a powerful, sweet, cucumber flavor with a tangy, citrus twist. Delicate foliage and fist-fulls of fruit that look like doll-sized watermelons make these plants pretty enough to grow trellised in a flower garden or cascading in a hanging basket. The 1 inch cukettes are terrific tossed in a salad, and the plants are productive enough to have plenty for pickling. Slower to germinate than other cucumbers, Mexican Sour Gherkin can take up to an extra two weeks to emerge.
