Donna, the Mexican Sour Gherkins never turn black – it’s hard to tell, but the other ones are ½ the size and rounder.  I think the common name is climbing cucumber, or squirting cucumber.  They are mildly poisonous, which is really what I wanted to know – no use letting them grow – don’t want them to cross-breed with my gherkins!

It all looks like Mex sour gherkins except for the black ones.  This is the first year I have ever grown them and mine haven't had time to turn purple, if that's what they do. 

we have the little passion vines, the lutea, and the flowers look different.  I would be very pleased if I knew the gherkins could volunteer.  I like that sort of thing.  Mind you, in the case of Jerusalem artichokes, Apios, and bamboo, vigor and self reliance can be overdone.    Donna
