Mexican Sour Gherkins
Can someone please post a pic of these plants about a month old, when they are still pretty small? I put some of these out in the garden again this year and want to distinguish between a weed and the plant. This is my second year trying these so I hope I have some of these. Thanks.

I have 2 plants which I put out about 10 days ago. Just 2 out of about 10 survived transplanting. If I was doing it over again I would have direct-seeded.
I don't have any pics but they look like very small delicate cucumber/pickle plants. I had first tried them last year & I really liked them. I got them at the farmer's market. Wife & son haven't warmed up to them, though, so I don't know if I will keep growing them. Heck, I just hope these 2 survivors prosper! Steve |

Well I tried direct seeding last year and I didn't have much luck. Maybe I will go back over the line and direct seed.

Here's what mine look like. They are rather small like Steve says.
