I am looking to get my hands on just a couple of these...I don't have much a trade list, but maybe we could make a deal! If you have 2 or 3 and are willing to work something out, I'd be very grateful!

Looking for Mexican Sour Gherkin (can't get old seeds started) and any gomphrena seeds especially those called Strawberry Fields Forever. My trade list is somewhat incomplete with flowers and other veggies missing.

HI ; I am interested in getting some Mexican Sour Gherkin seeds from you if possible. Would you like to trade for some of my TINDORA..or Coccinia Grandis.? Maybe LEMONGRASS?I can send pix if you will reply.wayne_burdeshaw@yahoo.com..or..cecilburdeshaw@bellsouth.net...I can send you my entire list also. Please reply. THANKS

found this over on the heirloom forum ... "I have grown them 2 seasons and love them. They flesh is the same as a regular cuke but the skin is definately sour. I love the flavor combo, just chill for a few hours and eat like candy while watching the tube. I find they make excellent pickles as well. Verrrry Tart. Warthog" I waited and waited for someone to answer you, because I was intrigued... I was really surprised NOT to find a recipe. But I would imagine you could use a recipe for Cornichons or regular sweet gherkins. That's what Linda Z says she does with West Indian (bur) gherkins in Joy of Pickling. You might search the Heirloom Plants and Garden Forum ... there seems to have been a lot of discussion, but I didn't find a recipe. Kay
