THE SNAKE GOURDS ARE COMING!!!

in #food6 years ago

Yes, it's the perfect gourd for @papa-pepper!


I mean, it even looks like a snake, right? Personally, this is my first year growing these, but I'm excited to test them out. Also, they seem to grow really quick!

GETTING CLOSER TO THE HARVEST

It seems like only a few days ago that I was sharing about how quickly the gourd plants were climbing up my gourd tunnel, but the blockchain don't lie... it was a week ago. Anyway, these gourds are growing quickly now!

The birdhouse gourds on the other side of the tunnel are also beginning to fruit! Some of them are already an impressive size as well. Unlike the snake gourds which we'll be eating, these will just be used for crafts like birdhouses. Each dried birdhouse gourd comes with an impressive amount of seeds too, to keep us growing for years to come!

We are also getting excited for the harvest, since many of our other crops are growing now! This little cucumber will hopefully be the first of many. Two years ago we had tons of cucumbers growing and got pretty creative in using them too! We love healthy free food straight from the garden, and we're about to being the next exciting season of reaping what we've sown!

The tomatoes are about to BOOM too! Monster Truck the Pepper, @mama-pepper and I all enjoyed snacking on a few today. You should see how big just two of our plants are in the video compared to Pinkie-Pepper. I can almost taste the salsas and sauces already! It looks like it'll be another great year in the garden!

As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Until next time…

Healthy free food for you and your family. Well done!....:)...

LOVE your gourd tunnel! What a unique way to grow them!
I always like to keep most of the vine plants (pole beans, cukes, gourds and squash) up off the ground.

Had an experience few years back while picking cukes off the ground and a little snake popped out- keep in mind I am NOT fond of snakes AT ALL.. so now I grow these bushy plants up- lol

oh my gourd .... :)

es increíble amigo, tenia rato sin visitar su blog y cada vez que lo hago me voy muy contento con su trabajo, pude ver hace poco como construyó la base para esta cosecha y me parece que fue ayer.

el arduo trabajo que muestra a través de sus distintas publicaciones, lo puedo comparar como un tren de carga, un solo viaje y trae muchas cosas, espero poder ver los pollitos producto de la incubadora, su casa terminada, las ovejas grandes, y todo el fruto por el que ha trabajado.

saludos a la @familia-pepper que sepan que admiro el trabajo de todos, algún día tendré con la ayuda de Dios, SP y puedo asegurar que siempre guardare algo para sus publicaciones.

Click to follow, I follow you to each other good replies. Like my article can help me to promote my article. Thank you

It looks like you plan to bite the end off of that snake gourd, I think I saw it shudder.... :)

Nice veggies for the little peppers to pick!

Draw a head on it, before you bite it off! You might even get the girls to squeal....

:D

It is not in vain what you have been doing,All of them bring good results,Enjoy what you have done first.
