Christopher J. ★★★★★

I was surprised by how many tiny cucumbers kept appearing on just one plant—perfect for snacking straight off the vine. The sweet-sour taste is exactly what I was hoping for, and the vines grew tall enough to cover a small trellis in no time.

Matthew M. ★★★★★

These little vines climb like crazy and hide the fence completely, so I got a screen and a snack. The fruits really do taste like a sour gherkin right off the plant, and mine keep pumping out new ones every couple days.

Jason ★★★★★

I've been picking handfuls of these tiny cucumber-like fruits every morning—they really do taste like a tangy gherkin straight off the vine. The plants are so prolific that my trellis is already covered with them, and they've created a nice little screen along the fence.
