Thin, tender yellow skins and succulent white flesh make them easy and enjoyable to eat right from the garden. Pick when just starting to turn yellow. Even the non-bitter skins have great flavor and a crunchy texture. You get loads of 3-4" fruit from mid- summer to fall. Terrific for pickling and slicing. Very easy to grow! Does well with short summer climates. This vine is also easy to grow in pots. Disease resistant and never bitter and easily digestible.
