The sweet taste of
bitterness
Recently, one of my
relatives, who also started practicing container gardening on the terrace of their home,
probably after getting an inspiration from my small gardening space, were
at my home. They bought along with them, a few bitter gourds, which, were grown
on their rooftop. Though, I don’t like the bitter gourd, due to its bitter
taste, but, I was extremely overwhelmed with these fruits, and the amount of
hard work and dedication that went into growing these fruits. More so, I was happy
that my personal gardening space, and this blog proves to be an inspiration for
atleast some one.
Infact, my two bitter
gourd vines are bearing fruits, but, a few of those fruits didn’t quite make
it, as most of these were damaged by worms. It still has two fruits, which have
grown enough to be eaten, but, then, only two fruits won’t be enough for even a
single person. Anyways, I am waiting for some smaller fruits to grow, so that I
could share them with you all, and my father who loves bitter gourd could relish
on these home grown organic gourds. Till then, I’m sharing a few shots of the
bitter gourd fruits I got from them.
As of now, different vegetable vines and plants are bearing some fruits or flowers, except the
beans. The pumpkin vine is having two small pumpkin fruits, you’ve already seen
the bitter gourds and the chilly plants, infact, almost all but one chilly
plants are bearing fruits. The ridge gourd vines too have two small fruits. I’ll
keep you updated with the status of all these plants and fruits in the upcoming
posts. Till then, keep visiting and HAPPY GARDENING!
