West Indian Gherkin

60 days, {iCucumis anguria}, a.k.a. West Indian Burr Gherkin, watermelon-like leaves, tiny yellow blooms and 2" long, puffer fish-shaped fruit, the taste is hard to describe, sort of like honeydew without the sweetness, fruit was used to make pickles that held their shape well in the vat brought to America in 1793 from Jamaica
