Description

The listing, 15 mouse melon aka mexican sour gherkin cucumber seeds has ended.

These things are a trip. This is the first time that I have grown them and was pleasantly surprised. They are great to just pick and eat but very pickleable, as well. I grew them on trellis and they did very well after a little help getting started. The plants are very similar to cucumber but much smaller vines and leaves. They do spread out quite a bit on the trellis. The fruit is ready to harvest when it either falls off or can be picked with very little effort. Tangy flavor. They do not get much bigger than a couple inches at most. At least mine didn't. Some people say 3 inches but, mine never got over 1 1/2 inches as you can see.

I ship free to Listia verified U.S. addresses only. Good Luck.

Questions & Comments

Can these be grown indoors? I live in Michigan and they'd freeze outside.

I have never tried to grow inside. They take up a lot of room so you would have to have an indoor trellis, etc. you have to wait til weather warms up to grow outside. They require lots of sun.

So you can eat the fruit whole? Like a cucumber?

oh, yeah. Tastes a lot like a cucumber with a twang.

Lol. Like a lemon twang, as in sour?

Not really sour or tart, hard to describe. Not unpleasant.
