The Mexican Sour Gherkin (Cucamelon) are cute, little cucumber-like fruits, that look like baby watermelon.  They also have a hint of a citrus taste when eaten fresh.  They are great to eat right out of the garden or you can pickle them.  The fruit maxes out about 1" in length, so they are quite small, but pack great flavor into that small package.  The vines tend to start slowly, but will then take off once the temperatures increase.  These are best grown on a trellis and need a lot of moisture and rich soil to produce well.  Be sure to harvest frequently to maintain production.
