Cucamelon
Plant of the Week
The plant of the week is… The Cucamelon!
Cucamelons are small, roughly grape sized, fruit that is a cross between a cucumber and a melon. Even though it looks like a tiny watermelon it tastes like a citrusy, yet tart cucumber! They can be used as a little pop of flavour in a salad, a little garden snack fresh off of the vine or even as pickled gherkins! Two other names for them are actually Mexican sour gherkin and mouse melon. Differing from cucumber plants the cucamelon has underground roots that produce edible tubers, similar to radishes. In warmer areas the tubers can allow the plant to act as a perennial, in order for them to come back every year! Though in the colder climates, most will dig them up to get a head start on the next year of gardening! Hundreds of Cucamelons can be produced from just a single vine during one growing season. Fun fact: Cucamelons are tiny nutrient powerhouses! They are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber.
Type: annual fruit (although eaten as a veggie, like tomato)
Height: plant 1 ft tall, vines up to 10 ft.
Moisture: well drained, rich warm soil - amend with compost before planting
Watering: Keep well watered. Vines will shrivel if they dry out.

Let customers speak for us
Everyone at the store was so lovely and helpful! I love my Parlour Palm :)
So much fun! Very well organized and relaxing, the food was scrumptious, and the little succulent in the teacup was just too cute! Thanks to Carly and her team for providing a wonderful way to connect with others, food, and nature!
Always an excellent shopping experience at bounty from the boonies! It is a great store to go in and have a browse, destress And pick up something refreshing for your home.
Love everything, so many great little gift items. My favorite thing is there home made soil. I used to drive to toronto and now I don’t have too.
Such a gorgeous piece. I’m almost tempted to keep it for myself but it will be a housewarming plant for my daughter’s new appt. Love it!😍
Came in thinking I’d buy a nice, normal plant. Left with what is essentially a tiny citrus overachiever.
This Meyer lemon tree wasted zero time settling in—straight to blooming like it’s got deadlines to hit and a reputation to maintain. Meanwhile, I’m hovering nearby like a middle manager taking credit for work I don’t understand.
It looks incredible, smells even better, and has me fully convinced I’m one harvest away from launching a wildly optimistic lemonade stand with zero business plan and far too much confidence.
Shoutout to the shop for selling plants with main-character energy. Would absolutely go back—if only to find something that believes in me as much as this tree clearly believes in itself.
The best little shop in Uxbridge. Carly and her staff are so kind and helpful. I’ve purchased many plants from this shop and they are thriving!
I never thought I had a “green thumb”; turns out I just needed a little guidance and some quality plants!
Shopping here is always a joyful experience! Employees are attentive, helpful, and approachable.
We LOVE the sayings and gave them in several plants. They make us smile and hopefully will make others smile as well
Loved everything about your boutique- from plants to people. Wish you were on PEI(where I live)!
