It’s been a busy October for me. Rather than throwing up my hands, skipping another day or giving up on the Ultimate Blog Challenge altogether, I’m posting another sort of wordless day. I’m featuring the star in my greenhouse – the bitter melon. Though it is almost mid October, they are still charging along. I’ve given the vines a huge haircut to let more sun in. That’s also a lesson in letting go. Trimming off excess vines stimulated more baby bitter melons to form. I’m not sure of the count. I think it is over 10.










I’ve just did a head count and got about 20 melons.
I enjoyed taking a tour of your greenhouse! I’ve heard of bitter melon but never tried it.
Lily, what a lovely greenhouse, and how stunning those bitter melons are!
The bitter melon is one of my favorites. I haven’t seen any in the Tennessee area I’m in. Perhaps, I’ll start growing my own. I’m inspired by your harvest.
