Achocha 'Fat Baby' Cyclanthera pedata
A lovely, productive stuffing cucumber on pretty, 2m+ vines.
Harvest when little for pickling, ripen a little more for fresh eating, or wait until the skin gives when squeezed for hollowing out and stuffing with the tasty filling of your choosing.
The spines are soft and fleshy and fine to eat.
Sow in late spring/early summer in warm, fertile soil, provide a trellis for support.
Plants may self-seed so pick all fruit if you want to avoid too many seedlings.
