The fruits, which look like tiny watermelons, are crispy and have a pronounced sweet and sour gherkin flavour. The perfect snack. Children love those gherkins. Also suitable for pickling.
The plant can be hibernated frost-free and bears fruits again in the next year.

Details: Plant description & care
Sowing & cultivation
Cucamelon is an annual plant in most parts of Europe. The tuber can, however, be dried and hibernated (approach similar to dahlias) and sprouts again in the next year.
It is unpretentious and can be grown well in pots on a balcony, terrace, or in the greenhouse. Seeds are started in indoor pre-culture in spring and planted after the last frosts. Melothria scabra is a climber that can reach up to 2 metres in height and needs a trellis or some kind of support.

Not for everyone's climate zone
In 5 month we got these plants grow up to about 20 cm length each, no fruit. The plant definitely does not like mild climates with up to +20C during day. It would probably grow much better in a toasty glasshouse or in Mediterranean regions. We will not be planting it again.
