Plant Sale shopper April sent in these photos of her cuke-nuts. Known by the obscure botanical name of Melothria scabra, cuke-nuts have been increasingly popular at the sale. From what April says, I can see why.
April wrote: Next year I plan to buy more cuke-nutes and plant them at the base of all my tomato plants. Thanks for all the work you do at putting on the sale. I’m already making my list for next year. I’d love to see some lingonberry bushes there. (Wink, wink!)
We’ll be looking into the lingonberry idea (added in 2010 and available again in 2011). In the meantime, if you’ve got garden photos, send them to photos@friendsschoolplantsale.com. We love to see them!
