Namaste to all garden and nature lovers!
Yesterday, I went to my brother's house after a long time, and right outside the main entrance, I noticed some yellow flowers blooming. People usually plant beautiful flowers outside their homes instead of fruits and vegetables, because in an open area, curious visitors might not wait for your fruit to ripen. You know what I mean?
At first glance, I thought it might be a flowering plant, but just before entering the house, it clicked that it looked like a vegetable in the gourd family. I knew this because I've grown many similar plants in my home garden before. These flowers mostly grow on vines; their petals look a bit rough, and their appearance suggests that they were born to produce something else.
Now, knowing all this, I wouldn't enter the house without inspecting this plant. So, I took a closer look at it, moved a few leaves aside, and I saw these lovely bitter gourds quietly growing in a healthy manner. From the outside, it might look like a wild bush, but from the inside, these lovely bitter gourds are quietly growing.
And not only were there a lot of bitter gourds growing on this vine, but as I showed you above, there were also a lot of flowers blooming on it, which will themselves start their journey of becoming fruits after some time. Apart from all this, I also saw a lot of buds on this vine, from which one thing I understood was that no matter how much care you take of a plant in a pot, it gives its best only when it touches the ground.
Here's the largest bitter gourd on this vine. However, it's still growing and will likely grow a few inches longer if someone doesn't pick it off before then. That's all for today. I hope you enjoyed this gardening blog.
