Fun Fact Friday: How much do you know about mouse melons? 🌱They can be eaten fresh off the vine, pickled, or sliced into a stir fry. 🌱Mouse melons, also known as cucamelons, are in the cucumber family but are neither a cucumber nor a melon (nor are they part mouse!). 🌱 They are a tropical perennial that's been a dietary staple in Mexico and Central America for hundreds of years. 🌱Any ripe fruit left on the ground can reseed, grow, and take over your garden! #funfactfriday #vegetablegarden #mousemelon #cucamelon #kidsgardening
