Cucamelons

Now these are very interesting looking berries! About the size of a grape and with a resemblence of a tiny watermelon, these are actually mini-mouthfuls of fresh cucumber with the hint of citrus about them.

I got a plant free last year with James Wong's amazing book Homegrown Revolution. It grew reasonably well but I only got around half a dozen berries. They were more impressive in look than flavour but I thought I would give them another go, this time from seed so I've just planted four up and will see how they fair. I'd like to have a go at pickling them as per James Wong's recipe.
