CUCAMELON
These super cute fruit are the size of a large grape. They taste like a cucumber with a hint of citrus. Also called Mexican sour gherkin or Minnesota Mouse Melon. The vines are whimsical and curly, a great plant for kids or decoration, as well as eating of course. Seeds from Good Earth Farm.

PETIT GRIS DE RENNES MELON
OP “You will never find this Melon at a continental breakfast as it was never meant to travel. . The only trip this melon should ever have to take is from the garden directly to your mouth. If treated right this exquisite melon will produce 3 to 4 exceptional tasting fruit in about 85 days. This ‘little grey’ melon can be the silver lining in your gardens taste profile.”

cucumbers. For optimum taste and tenderness pick
when 1/2”-1” thick. Grows straighter when it is trellised.
