William : I missed your post, and then the earthquake and the dog ate my homework !
Please note there is a difference between Creeping cucumbers edible smooth and very small walnut sized - AND the NON-Edible wild cucumber
Small with fleshy spicks about small walnut sized !
I am very sure that the wild cucumber and the Loofah Plant are distantly related
All parts of the Wild Cucumber smell like Cucumber when squashed !
I don't think the seeds are edible, they are large and about the color of Fishermans Friends Cough Drops
Soon after the plant dies in the fall the spiked seed pod splits open and the seeds fall out all of the old plants have shed their seeds and we must
wait for a fall crop !
Can you remind me about the 1st of sept And I will gladly send you some !
(there, that gives me time to find some viable plants ) For the Crafts ! Big AL
