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!

I have brick layed out in my back yard so I container garden, to my surprise I found a cucamelon vine coming out of between the cracks of the brick! Just like the weeds haha
Will this plant produce the every year?
How many plants do you have growing in that space? How many do you recommend per person?
Wait a minute! These may be what someone labeled as midget watermelons for a seed package aimed at children!
This my first year growing them. We are in Ct some say these are perennials, is that true given your location and cold winters ?
If I grafted cucumbers on watermelon or watermelon on cucumbers will it produce cucmelons
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!
So interesting!! In gonna try this!
Would these be managble/ ok to grow in a porch container garden?
OMG this is why I appreciate your teaching. Mini watermelons.
Where do you get them from the store what store

Great tips, thanks for sharing
Where do I get so.e seeds for these?

Barely
Did he just struggle to eat a half piece grape sized fruit?
You aint asian man, you can eat it without struggle
Thank!
Do more talk less man
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.
Let me know when it’s in stock. I want to grow it.

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!
I wonder if these would do well in an aerogarden
THANKS WONDERFUL INFORMATION
Awesome! I just placed an order from your site thank you
How deep do the roots go?
Living in Canada, if those were sweet like watermelons I would be in paradise.
