HEY EVERYBODY! Here is the MEXICAN SOUR GHERKIN, Melothria scabra, A Newly rediscovered heirloom. Produces abundant crops of 1-2" fruits reminiscent of tiny watermelons that fall off the vines when ripe. Sweet cucumber flavor contrasted by a surprising sourness, as if they are already pickled. Great for growing on a trellis, 60-70 days. Thanks for watching and If you like this video don't forget to LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE!
