cucamelons help!
theone:
Have just started picking mine. The skin is terribly hard, inedible in fact although the inside is cucumber-y. Surely you're not supposed to peel them??
Did i leave them on the plant too long? I was so looking forward to them.
hippydave:
mine are still tiny so i cant help but im hoping you can just eat them without faffing about peeling them
BarriedaleNick:
I didn't peel mine and the skins were a bit tough even on the ickle ones.
Given the space they take for the crop and the fact that they aren't that tasty I shall be adding them to the "to be forgotten and never tried again" section of my seedbank

They should be crisp but not tough??? Not sure what happened there, maybe try a young fruit.
Last time I grew them I had so many that I ended up pickling a couple of jars. Fruits halved and pickled, any cucumber recipe will do. That should deal with any tough skins and save them from the compost heap. :tongue3:
