Literally FRUIT of my Labor!
I've been interested on gardening recently, and as from my previous post, I had been giving an update to the very first plant I ever planted.
2 Months ago, I planted this bitter gourd and in just a week, it already responded to my care
And since it was receiving a lot of care from us, by watering it everyday, its literally growing too fast
(2nd week )
On its 6th week, it already starts to blossom
After 10 weeks, the Bitter gourd I planted have already blossomed and already gave its fruit.
We we're so happy to harvest the very first fruit of this plant and regardless of its bitterness, We really enjoyed eating it along with the other harvest we had on our little garden
It really feels good to grow plants, its been a stress reliever for me, especially while watering them. I might sound crazy but I do sometimes talk to them, and I think there's a positive effect on the plant, as they were growing fast and beautifully.
what is this fruit, i see it the first time in my life ?
It's a bitter gourd, also known as bitter melon, this is very healthy and very helpful for diabetic person, though it literally taste bitter
ah now i get it. It is called donkey cucumber in Turkey :) also used on sinusitis treatment i guess.
Oh, Thank you for the info, I'm not aware that it can also treat sinusitis. I guess this vegie is not really that famous for people, because of its taste. Hehe
