(Melothria scabra) 73 days. Thin but tenacious vines bear many ^5/₈ in. x ^7/₈ in. fruits with skin like tiny watermelons. Immature, they taste like cucumbers; when fully mature, they taste like pickled cucumbers. Always popular at tastings! Plant them along your garden path for convenient snacking. Bears until frost. Trellising recommended.
