(70 days) Cute, 1" long fruits look like miniature watermelons and taste like cucumbers with tangy citrus overtones. Vines start growing slowly but can get up to 10' long. Can be eaten fresh or pickled. Fruits can be sold in half-pint or clamshell containers at markets that appreciate novelty. Also known as the Cucamelon and mouse melon.
Growing Tips: Sow indoors 1/4" deep a few weeks before the last frost date, and transplant in the garden in rows about every 18", and trellis. We recommend harvesting these cucumbers promptly as they tend to get seedy if allowed to grow longer than 1".
