Discover the delightful taste of Mexican Sour Gherkins, also known as Cucamelon or Mouse Melon, with this pack of 70pcs seeds. These mini thumb watermelon fruit vegetables are a unique addition to your home garden, offering a delicious and refreshing treat.
For planting, prepare a garden bed by tilling a 3-inch layer of compost into the ground. Direct-seed the Mexican sour gherkin seeds into circles or groups, spacing them about 12 inches apart. Within each circle, plant the seeds approximately 2 inches apart, sowing them at a depth of about 1 inch as recommended on the seed packet.
Gardeners in warmer, Mediterranean climates can directly sow the seeds in April or May, skipping the step of raising seedlings indoors. For late spring transplantation, start the seeds indoors earlier. Choose a sunny location in your garden for optimal growth.
Mexican sour gherkins are open-pollinated heirlooms, providing you with authentic and natural flavors. Enjoy growing these intriguing veggies and experiencing the joy of homegrown produce.
