RE: My Garden Journal Challenge May 2019
Oh, I love to see all that greenery. In spite of the drought, your garden looks very green.
I've never had bitter gourd - I have never even seen one. But they seem to be growing easily. (A bit like cucumber and zucchini here, when we're at the top of the season, no one leaves this house with at least a cucumber or zucchini, lol - we always have way too many)
That is right they grow easily this is a common vegetable here in the Philippines and some parts of Asia. Well I had seen a zucchini in the fresh produce of a supermarket but I haven't eaten one yet 😊 not to mention that they are too expensive and I don't know how to use them. Funny isn't it?
Thanks for dropping by @simplymike and thank you for making this community of green thumbs alive again
That's one of the things I like about this contest: you learn something new about people on the other side of the world and their food habits.
Not so very long ago, @cicisaja posted a picture of an Annona squamosa - (a sugar apple)-tree, standing near her house, full of fruit.
I was so jealous, because it is almost impossible to find them here...
And im jealous that I dunno how to cook bitter gourd😭
Sometimes we just boil them and dip with our choice of sour or salty condiments
My hubby loves it.. but I can't eat it 😂 the siomay seller add the boiled bitter gourd too before he pour the peanut's sauce... strange that it's not bitter at all
Yes it is not bitter at all although when my kids are still young they can't tolerate little bitterness
😂
Haha sugar apple is also very common here. When I was young we have two growing in our garden they've been infested by aphids though
#evenmorejealous 😉
