Growing bitter gourd has been a deeply fulfilling
experience, perfectly aligning with Nava’s Zen philosophy. The glossy, dark
green fruits are visually stunning, but unfortunately, they don’t last long.
This means the cycle of growing must continue. Despite initial setbacks and
pauses for reasons I can’t quite pinpoint, I’m now ready to start growing
again.
Cultivating bitter gourd is quite simple. You can either dry the seeds before planting or plant them directly after using them in your cooking. To my delight, the seeds from my kitchen produced new plants.
