I tried  these one year thinking they would make good cornichons. First of
all, they are not cucumber-like, but rather they are tiny sour melons. I
grow cucumbers very successfully here in my zone 6/7 hot, muggy summer
climate, but these did not do well. Very few fruits, and they are really
tiny.

Here is an article on them, they are even smaller than what the look like in
your photo.
On the last page of the article are 3 places that sell seed.
I want to try these too!

Dear Friends,
	I know enough of you and your culinary wanderings, that I 
thought I'd ask if you know of this little vine commonly called 'Cuke 
Nuts' or 'Mouse Melon" (don't you love these common names?)
and 
botanically as Melothria scabra. This is a Mexican cucurbit with 
edible fruits.

	Never saw or heard of it before seeing this web site:

	Any experiences to share?

		Best		Jim W.
