Tons of tiny little cucumbers that look like mini-watermelons but taste like a pleasantly sour cucumber…
65 days. Open pollinated. Heirloom. An unusual little fruit that you will not be able to stop snacking on. But, save them for pickling and salads, too. Rampant but delicate vines get loaded with 1″ green and white melons that are crunchy and have a slightly sour taste like they have already been pickled. Very refreshing, and perfect in salads, salsas, stir fries, and pickles. An ancient food from Mexico and Central America, where they have been used extensively since pre-Columbus times. Not a cucumber or melon botanically, so won’t cross pollinate with either. Makes a lovely ground cover, but is best trellised for ease of harvesting. Kids love these.
Within 24 hours of receiving your order, we will e-mail you with a shipping date that we choose based on your last frost date. You are welcome to change the shipping date. Just respond to the e-mail and tell us when you want your plants. Our first shipping date is late March, weather permitting. We will not have plants available before then.
Our plants are sustainably raised in our own potting mix. We use only organic fertilizers and sprays if needed. We have been growing and selling plants since 1997.
Our plants are shipped in individual 3″ deep pots. They are ready to be planted out in your garden.
We package our plants with extreme care so they arrive undamaged at your doorstep. Each plant is tucked into its own padded sleeve. The soil in each pot is covered so it will not spill out. A plant tag identifying the variety is included with each plant.
We ship every Monday and Tuesday, from late March through May, according to your location or your request. We currently ship to every state except Hawaii and Alaska.

I love the way the vines curl and drape on these plants. Even with out the little fruits the plant looks so cute!

Sorry for late review – wanted to see how they did after planting. I was worried about them after the post office delayed them and they were boxed up & traveling for 6 days. I am happy to say they are growing well, even after a silly gopher buried 2 of them and I had to dig them out! Great seller, great communication! Thank you!

Amazing vendor! These were the best packed plants I've ever ordered (and I've ordered many plants over the years from many companies). I was VERY impressed! The plants were healthy and beautiful!

My baby veggie plants arrived safe and sound, in fact very well packaged with care. I did as the paperwork recommended and let them acclimate to my zone for several days inside the shipping box but exposed so some indirect light the first day, then partial sun the next few days while keeping them moist. They all took off growing even during their acclimation period and I already see evidence of the first fruits on the peppers and cucumbers. The zucchini came with 2 leaves and now has 8! I am so excited for my garden this year. Having selected mostly dwarf varieties that will have high yield without taking over the garden, I can't wait to experience all of these new heirloom veggies you never see in the store. They are all planted and seem quite happy. Thanks for doing what you do LazyOxFarm!
