Did anyone grow Cucamelons? Looks like I'm going to get a bumper crop, how do you know when they are ready to harvest? I've tasted a couple and the where a bit bland. Is it possible to save the tubers till next year? Thanks
I've got one in a large unheated greenhouse, it was a gift plant. I'm wondering if it will over-winter...
I'm with you there . If you see me with another packet of James Wongs seeds, please dispatch me humanly and throw me on a compost heap!

Will do, promise! however don't forget that other seed companies are selling them and have sold them for a long time before JW renamed them as cucamelons. I was able to buy my first Melothria Scabra seeds years before any of the hype. I feel that many are put off by the over-promise more than by the actual veg. If it is described properly, as reputable seed sellers have done, there isn't the let-down that many are feeling now.In defense of Melothria or if you prefer 'Mouse Melon', the plants are still going well after mildew has dispatched cucumbers. Together with Achocha, I like them for that reason and another is that the pickle doesn't taste half bad.
I might try pickling them instead of gerkins then! Well as I forgot to grow gerkins it sounds reasonable to me
