Mexican Sour Gherkins boast an abundance of small, 1-inch fruits that bear a striking resemblance to miniature watermelons. The fruits offer a refreshing crunch with a delightful blend of lemony and tangy flavors. Although the vines may have a slow start, they can easily grow up to 10 feet tall by the end of July, if given ample space. These fruits can be enjoyed fresh from the garden or pickled for a tangy winter treat. Their unique appearance also makes them a charming addition to picnics and other outdoor gatherings, where they can be used as a fun and playful substitute for watermelons. Overall, this variety is an excellent choice for those looking to add some visual interest and flavorful variety to their garden or culinary repertoire.
Cucumber: Experience the refreshing crunch of garden-fresh cucumbers! These versatile vines offer abundant harvests perfect for salads, pickles, or straight-off-the-vine snacking. Available in compact bush varieties for containers or climbing types for trellises, cucumbers are summer garden stars that keep producing as long as you keep harvesting. A must-grow for any food garden!
Growing Tips: For optimal growth, plant two to three cucumbers in a mound that is about 1 foot high and 18 inches across, which will promote proper drainage. Additionally, using a good mulch will help maintain consistent moisture in the soil, which is essential for healthy growth.
