Awesome gardening buddy! 😁

[@olliefs9298]

I bought some seeds many years ago and never actually planted them (gave seeds away) i was recently given half a dozen plants and im suuuuuuper keen to start getting a harvest.. i love the idea of your trellis ill have to come up with something similar.. im in Northern Rivers NSW.. i plan on making some pickles with them to start!

[@olliefs9298]

Edit nvm you answered my question in the vid :) I'm assuming in Northern Qld being tropics they would grow all year round?

[@vintagefoodfarm]

Yes they do😁 Even an overnight quick pickle is fantastic!

[@emilyglasser1072]

Hi Deb, 1st time on your site, just because I searched for cucamelon. I email myself vids I'd like to find again. There is always a description in the subject heading, but your video doesn't have that, I don't know if you are aware. Loved all the info🙂 Are the leaves edible by any chance?
I'm in Tucson Arizona US by the way.
We are a usda zone 9a desert. Do you happen to know how they fare in the desert. We have summer "monsoons".

[@vintagefoodfarm]

Lol😂oops😁I will look at that ASAP😊thanks!!!! As for eating the leaves I have heard differing opinions over the years so we don't. We also have a ridiculous amount of edible greens so I've never really had too 😊So happy you liked the video!!! Thanks for the heads up and have a great day!!!

[@vintagefoodfarm]

They should do really well. They love the monsoon! 🍈🍈🍈🍈🍈🥰

[@emilyglasser1072]

@@vintagefoodfarm Do they overwinter for you. What zone are you in?

[@vintagefoodfarm]

We don't have zones here but we are in the tropics. Yes we have fruit in winter. I leave some fruit to drop off and self seed to keep them going😁

[@sharlenemuir6450]

What zone are you growing in? Will they grow in qld?

[@vintagefoodfarm]

We are in Tropical Far North Queensland. Yes they will grow all over Queensland. Here is a link to our video on how to grow them 😁ua-cam.com/video/Cdx0IowBLl4/v-deo.html

[@MommyKS4]

How many seeds/plants did you sow/plant or is that one single vine?

[@vintagefoodfarm]

Hi! I only planted a few seeds. Like 10 i think. They then grew and dropped fruit which grew etc etc. There are now many many plants. They are great because they just look after themselves and we have endless cucamelons 😁🍈🍈🍈🍈It's such an amazing food. We couldn't live without them now😁

[@juliecox5894]

Can you pickle them

[@vintagefoodfarm]

Oh Yeah! They are favourite pickle ever! They keep a good amount of crunch and are super tasty 🤠🥒

[@beckyp5376]

I can't seem to get mine to grow

[@vintagefoodfarm]

Oh no 😭Where do you live? 😊

[@beckyp5376]
