RARE MOUSE MELON VINE
Melothria scabra

FUN - EASY TO GROW- EDIBLE - HEALTHY - TASTY!

Favorite snack of ancient Aztec kings! Believed to have been long lost, Mouse Melon's rediscovery is making a big splash in Cottage Garden's and Farmer's Market's.

These tiny 1-2" melons are more than just cute, they're also edible and taste like a crispy cucumbers with just a hint of lemon. Eat right off the vine or use in salads and salsa's. Thrill your guest by serving this unique delight at your next Garden Party.

Mouse Melon is also a great choice for a kids first garden! And so much more fun than growing the ole bean in a cup.

Delicate Ivy like leaves become the perfect backdrop for masses of miniature green-striped melons making this vine an ornamental show piece in the Best Of Flower Gardens. But don't let its unique beauty fool you...this Ancient Vine Also Rules The Vegetable Garden!

Though a bit slow on the 'get go' - - -when Mouse Melon does take off, it doesn't play around. In fact, just about the time you think it's not going to amount to much, it will magically turn into a mass-producing, eye-popping, garden thrill almost overnight! So be ready!

ZONES: reseeding annual in all zones.
HEIGHT: 6-10' works best with wire mesh to attach and climb up.
FLOWERS: Scented. Yellow to pale yellow.
FRUITS: July through November
SOW: lightly cover seed with soil on top a moistened peat pod 6-8 weeks indoors before last frost. Tent seed under plastic and give indirect sunlight. Or direct sow outdoors where you want it to grow.

This vine grows well in pots with support.

ty & fanned ya right back!

Oh, I love growing these each year and they're are always on my top ten planting list. My hardest part is keeping them away from the deer family that likes to visit the garden...the baby's seem to adore them. So far I'm winning by laying a few grates by the bed which they won't step on or over to reach them...the little rascals :)
