Cucamelons. Sound interesting,  thinking of trying them this year has anyone else tried them.

Had a go last year. Complete disaster .

Going to try in polytunnel this year.

Outside they were useless and nothing like Mr Wong suggests.

Many people found that they took ages to put in any growth.

Oh I bought some seeds this year hoping to grow them outside

You might be lucky, but I wasn't and many others had nightmares too

I grew mine in the greenhouse and they were prolific. I started them late, but I was getting loads towards the end of the summer.  Not the most exciting veg, but different, and definitely worth growing if you like variety in your salad.

I've trying to over winter the plants, but only as an experiment.  I shall definitely plant more next year.  I also like James Wong radish pods.  Didn't manage to grow many but I am going to try again next year.

Grew a couple of Cucamelon plants last year. They did take a while to get going. I started mine off in pt and then planted outside when weather was warmer. They don't really spread out that much, but the vine is quite long. I had some canes supporting mine, but think they'd be better growing on netting. Am trying them again this year, but may just grow in poly tunnel if I have room.

Grow them in the greenhouse, very prolific. Giving them away, great for salads and a good talking point.

I don't have a greenhouse though because it said outside was ok I was planning a nice sunny sheltered spot on the lottie.... Maybe I could use my blowaway for it?

[blackberryjam]

I hope there be okay in a blow away that's where I'm planning to grow mine,, I grew okra in it  last year and they grew really well.
