Bitter melon

大山苦瓜

冲繩苦瓜




After eating bitter melon in the trip to Okinawa early this year, I am hooked to its flavour. I bought a pack of local seed back and a friend gave me another Japanese variety called Big Mountain.

Both are planted in green house and they looks like a cucumber plant, with thinner leaves. Similar yellow flowers and in mid June, I spotted these baby bitter melons, they look so cute, already with all the lumps like the mature fruit, amazing.
