Sow at the depth recommended on the seed packet -- generally about 1 inch. Mexican sour gherkin cucumbers, otherwise referred to as cucamelon, mouse melon and in Spanish, sandita or little watermelon. Gardeners in warmer, Mediterranean climates can often skip the extra work of raising Mexican sour gherkin seedlings by direct-seeding the intriguing veggies in April or May. Direct-seed Mexican sour gherkins into a garden bed to which a 3-inch layer of compost has been tilled into the ground. Then let’s learn how to plant Mexican sour gherkins in the home garden. These open pollinated heirlooms can be direct sown in warmer regions in April or May or started indoors earlier for late spring transplantation. Select a site in full sun. Remove from the heat and steep until the liquid is warm--not hot. Add 1 cup gherkins, cool completely, and chill. Keep them jarred in the fridge--they will stay good for 2-3 weeks. If you have un-pickled gherkins left over, chop them up and throw them into salsa or gazpacho. Thin seedlings to 12 inches apart when they are 4 inches tall. Choose the strongest-looking seedling and cut the rest to the ground with garden scissors. Set a cage around each seedling. For extra support, set a stake on each side of the cage, hammer them into the ground and attach them to the cage with garden twine. Mulch between cages to conserve water Water the vines at least once a week, checking between watering sessions to ensure the ground is moist to a depth of at least 3 inches. Side-dress the vines about six weeks after planting. Rake aside mulch and set narrow bands of compost in rings around the cages. Water the area to allow nutrients to soak into the soil, then rake mulch back into place.
