I am looking for the following Diva, Mexican Sour Gherkin, and Poona Kheera. Have a look at my trade list and hope we can make a trade. http://members.gardenweb.com/members/exch/deanriowa thanks, Dean

I am currently on the hunt for Mexican Sour Gherkin and West India Burr Gherkin. Please check out my trade list for my current selection of available seeds. If anyone has spare seeds for either of these (or anything else on my want list, for that matter), I'd love to do a trade. Here's wishing you all a marvelous weekend!

I think those are gherkin seedss I've been wanting. As mentioned in my post, I can send postage and plastic bags for seeds in exchange. I checked your lists and you have everything I have plus tons more so I know I can't do an exchange. Mostly I have just common everyday heirloom vegetables. Just let me know if this would be a fair trade to you. Thank you. Madonna Kirby 6626 Persimmon Ridge Road Nineveh, IN 46164

I'm actually relieved to hear that someone else doesn't like them. I've read so many glowing desriptions of their great taste that I was beginning to think something was wrong with my taste buds! I'm growing this plant this summer, and while the fruit has a great cucumber scent, the taste is cucumber-gone-horribly-wrong. I've tried it several times, thinking maybe I was just getting unripe ones or over-ripe ones, or just trying them on a bad day, and each time I end up making a face and having to rinse out my mouth. I don't understand, though, when everyone else seems to just think they're great! Maybe some sort of variety difference? Maybe I'll try ordering some seeds next year and see if I can get a better-tasting plant.
