Mexican Sour Gherkin

Does anyone have seeds of this? I meant to order these from Baker Creek, but accidentally left them out of the order... I was hoping someone had a few seeds they could spare. I have tons of stuff to trade! Let me know what you're looking for.

Thanks,
Melissa

Melissa - sorry, I only have the West Indian Gherkins. If want some of those, let me know. I don't care for the Mexican Sours.

Kanita, I've never tried the Mexican Sours, they just sounded good. What didn't you like about them? What are the West Indian Gherkins like?

I haven't grown any yet, but I have some seeds that you're welcome to. I bought them back when they were almost impossible to find, so they're a few years old, but I could do a quick germ test before sending. The ones I have are Melothria scabra, not a real cucumber, but I hear that they pickle well. I remember a wild species in Florida that always smelled like watermelon rinds when the mower went over them.

I prefer the gherkins because they are crunchier and in general, I did not like the taste of the sour gherkins. I can't quite place my finger on it.
