VIDEO: How to Grow The World’s Smallest Watermelon!


Even YOU can grow the world’s smallest watermelons! Here is where you can get seeds: http://amzn.to/2cwWVGE
These are not actually watermelons, but very close and certainly will get more kids to try them rather then by calling them a Mexican Sour Gherkin which they really are. These cucamelons are delicious and so fun to eat!

  1. Thank you SO much. I was wondering why my leaves were browning because everything I've read says "no nutes needed" and now I realize they're lacking nitrogen! They grew super tall and big and then suddenly started dying. Don't think I can save them this year, but now I know!

  2. Hi soon will be fall, could you please let me know in Vancouver Canada is Zone 8 & 8b will Mexican Sour Gherkin CucaMelon (will go down sometime to -20C) will it making to spring or do I have to regrow again?.
    The new youtube video I watch them and all of you video I love then to see them over,over again.I really appreciate thank you.

    Warm regards

    Mike

  3. Thank you for making this video Luke. I love to grow unique vegetables and had no idea how to trellis my cucamelon seedlings. I was delightfully surprised that you made a growing guide on such a unique vegetable! I might see if restaurants want to buy them from me.

  4. Had a small patch of these come up in the middle of our lawn this spring before the first mow. Dug it up and planted it along the four foot chain link fence to see what it would do. That one tiny plant wound up spreading over two panels! If I plant more they may grow thick enough to make a decent privacy screen.

    Also, it made an impressive amount of fruit from that one small transplanting. They do taste good! One important caveat to mention, do not eat the fruits after they have turned a beautiful dark purple. It is tempting to think they are ripe at this stage but they actually turn slightly toxic (not to be confused with poisonous) and could wind up giving you diarrhea. So remember, green is ripe!
