Help finding "exotic" gherkins

Hi,

I’m after some help sourcing some “exotic” gherkin seeds, after hearing about them from various sources I really fancy having a go at growing them this year.

I’m after:

Mexican Sour Gherkin (Melothria scabra)

&

West Indian Gherkin (Cucumis anguria)


Any help most appreciated.
Cheers
Ric

 

Just an update (if anyone is interested).

On my way home from work I stopped off at a garden centre (the third of the day) and found a small rack of "eden project" seeds. Nestled within we my sour gherkins. Also can be found a bit cheaper on line:
Suttons Eden Project ::: Mexican Gherkin Seeds [SUTTO189310] | Capital Gardens

For the West Indian gherkins I found the Real Seed Catalogue on line and have put in an order for the gherkins as well as, Exploding Cucumber, Miniature White' Cucumber, 'Golden Sweet' Yellow-Podded Mange-tout & 'Triple Purple' Orach.
Their web site has loads of interesting seeds so well worth a look:
Great Vegetable Seeds from The Real Seed Catalogue

I heard about some of these interesting seeds from listening to the alternative kitchen garden podcast/blog:
Alternative Kitchen Garden: coopette.com
which is also worth a look at.

This podcast has also inspired me to grow-
toothache plant (Acmella oleracea, also known under its old names Spilanthes oleracea and Spilanthes acmella), who's flowers are supposed to be like popping candy on the tongue as well as having a mild anesthetic affect.
&
Stevia herb - natural sweetener and can be used as an alternative to sugar

So wish me luck and I'll let you know how i get on

Cheers

 

Yes good luck skinmonkey.

May be it's me being thick, but I thought gherkins were baby cucumbers.
