✨ Little Witch Magickal Garden Presents: Today’s Harvest Fae Edition! ✨
From Magickal Garden to Fae Table: Spoon Tomato & Cucamelon 🧚🌱
Spoon Tomatoes (Solanum pimpinellifolium)
Also known as currant tomatoes, these are the smallest tomatoes in the world! At only ¼ to ⅜ of an inch, each one gives you a tiny, intense burst of sweet, juicy, and slightly tangy flavor. I first discovered these when my best friend Sandra Audra Doucette found them at a grocery store, bought a ton, and pickled them with whole garlic cloves, dill, and scallions. We went through countless jars and have been completely obsessed ever since!
Cucamelons (Melothria scabra)
These tiny, grape-sized fruits (about 1 to 2 inches) look like miniature watermelons but taste like crisp cucumbers with a hint of lime! I’ve grown these for a few years now, and because anyone visiting the garden immediately snacks on them, they never make it indoors. I did manage to throw a few into a batch of pickled spoon tomatoes recently—letting them sit as long as my patience allowed—and they were freaking delicious!
(Pro tip: If you want complete garden chaos, plant two near each other and good luck ever finding the harvest! Videos coming soon...)
These whimsical little fruits are perfect for any garden—not just Fairy or Goth themes. Kids (and my grandson!) adore them. They’re fantastic for helping pickier eaters try something new because they just feel so magickal to pick and eat right off the vine!
🌱 I will have plant starts available for the May plant sale!
Thank you my adopted Mom Rhonda Christian for my fairy house!!!!!!
