Hey there! I'm the adorable Cucamelon, a tiny fruit with a big personality. I might look like a miniature watermelon, but don't let my size fool you—I taste like a refreshing cucumber with a hint of citrus zest. Perfect for snacking, tossing in salads, or even pickling, I’m a garden favorite. Did you know I’m also called 'Mouse Melon' because of my petite size and charm? With a little sunshine and well-drained soil, I'll reward you with a harvest that's as fun to grow as it is to eat!
Plant in well-drained soil with full sun exposure, ensuring at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. Water regularly but avoid waterlogging, as overly wet soil can cause root rot. Provide a sturdy trellis or support for climbing vines. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest when fruits are grape-sized and firm.
