My Experience Growing Winter Melon from Benincasa Hispida Seeds in My First Year of Gardening
My latest horticultural endeavor is the Winter Melon, scientifically known as Benincasa hispida. Winter melons are so fascinating to me that I decided to sow 120 organic, non-GMO seeds because of my curiosity with these adaptable gourds. From sowing seeds to harvesting fruit, I got to see the whole life cycle of the Winter Melon, an essential ingredient in many Asian dishes.
The Reveal of a Revolutionary Winter Melon Journey Winter Melon may be misleading in its seasonal connotations, but I can't deny the allure of eating this fruit. The plant derives its name from the fact that it can be preserved and eaten all winter long, even though most cultivation occurs in the summer and fall. I was first interested because of its significance in Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisines and its adaptability.
