sanditas are still producing

Last season I planted a sandita vine (Melothria scabra) as an experiment to see how this little fruit tastes. The word "sandita" means "little watermelon" in Spanish, and the plant has been grown in Mexico since before the arrival of the Spaniards. The vine seems very hardy; the taste of the fruit is much like a cucumber.
