The listing, 12 Mexican Sour Gherkin Cucumbers shaped like baby watermelons has ended.
This heirloom is a tiny ornamental cucumber that is in a different plant family then most cucumbers. The fruit grow about 1" long and 3/4" wide. They are dark green with light green stripes and have a very mild cucumber flavor with a slightly sour, citrus taste.
Start seeds indoors in peat pots 2-5 weeks before transplanting outside. Cover lightly with loose soil. Keep moist not wet. 75 days until harvest.
Please note: The above is on the instructions; however,
I put mine directly into my large hanging basket soil and they are growing just fine.
