Topic: Has anyone grown Karella/Bitter Gourd?

[Squash64]

I know there was a thread about this earlier in the year and as I've just ordered some seed (from W. Robinson & son) , I wondered if anyone grew it this year?

[Squash64]

I'm answering this myself because I want to try something out -

I bought the Karella seeds from here


It worked - I've always wondered how that was done!  Thanks Ceres.  :)

Yes it works Betty, did Ceres PM  you too ;D ;D ;D

What will you do with it?

Yes!
I've noticed that Unwashed and others do it and I've never been able to work out how so I'm glad you asked earlier.  :)

There is an interesting old thread called Dudhi

Thanks Digeroo.  Dudhi doesn't seem to be the same, judging by the photos.  Karella is
quite spikey I think.

They certainly sell both in the asian supermarkets in Swindon.
