Compo 10,328 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I have had a bash at growing Cucamelons this year. Alas, the poor weather has meant that I have had no fruits. My sister has fared rather better, she being on the South Devon coast. However, I have now learnt that if I lift and store the roots frost free they will regrow next season - so all may not yet be lost Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJBrenton 738 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 They're a Mexican gherkin. I grew them succesfully some years ago before switching to West Indian gherkins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,593 Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 I grew some three years ago in the greenhouse took me until this year to get rid of them, loads of fruits on the vines but they kept shooting up out of the compost and using the other plants like a climbing frame, won't be growing any of those again Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
