What To Do With The Chayote Fruits?

in #share2steem6 years ago (edited)


The prickly chayote plant is dying at warp speed. Most of the fruits he's carrying are not ready to be harvested. Such a shame... I'm searching onine, trying to find out if I can take off the fruits and let them ripen indoors, like you do with tomatoes, but so far, no luck... 😞

I need a solution soon, because most vines are barely alive and I don't want the fruits to go to waste. All tips are more than welcome ... 🌱⚠️💡

Pluck the chayote together with the branch and leave it on the floor until it gets ripened.

Thanks for the tip.
Inside our outside?

Keep it inside. The heat is needed

What a pretty picture! I didn't know chayote had those sweet prickles. Are they actually pretty pokey? Beyond knowing Chayote is delicious, i am afraid i can not help unfortunately. I was introduced to this veggie when i was in Costa Rica. It was made into tiny cubes and cooked into a delicious milky broth. It was so good!! I wonder if @sallybeth23 has any secret tips on 5his plant that might help you. She's so passionate about gardening. Best Luck to You!!

This is the prickly variety, which is more suitable go gvfow in our Belgian climate

The photograph is beautiful, it would be unfortunate if so succulent fruit was lost. I hope you have been able to recover and enjoy it. A hug @simplymike

Thanks. I hope to find a way to save them before it is too

Great photoraph @simplymike. I've never heard of a prickly chayote plant. Are you growing it inside or outside?

looks some knowledgeable people here have a solution for you. I hope it can be saved. 😊

It's outside, but it's sheltered against stron winds and heavy

We combine them with fennel chili peppers 🌶 and oil. The put them sliced with salt and pepper in the oven. :-) if you like put a topping with vegan cheese on top. 👍😀
