Buy a well served plate is truly a delight to the eyes and the cause of salivating mouth.

And for all the benefits we enjoy from growing our own food it becomes almost impossible to not make an attempt at it every year even when we don't feel too energetic.

And here is a mass of the fluted Pumpkins plants that are now fully ready for harvest. The quantity of this particular veggies grown here is one that a single picture cannot cover. Although it doesn't entirely belong to a single person which was the more reason why it covers a large portion of land here. Everyone is dedicated to nurturing his own part of the veggies and when they are due for harvest, they get plucked and sold at the market.

Among all the specie of vegetables that I know and aside the medical ones used for treating various ailment, this is one of the veggies that I know that is highly beneficial to us. Aside the fact that it is useful for boosting blood level in the body, its a form of vegetables proteins that builds the body so well that every form of weight loss is controlled. Eating fluted pumpkins faithful for months makes me add weight, a healthy skin and body.

While some people prefer to prepare the extract and drink, I prefer to eat the veggies in my meals instead, the extrac of the juice has an unpleasant taste juct like many other herbs.

The ground is pretty dry around the veggies already and by the weekends these should be getting watered from the river.
