I grow bitter melon every year but don't always have good germination rates, until my 7 year daughter who was just play gardening while I worked, threw some bitter melon seeds in a pot of natural wood mulch and gave it water and less than two weeks later up came the sprouts. They all sprouted. She did the same thing again after that , and again, they all came up. So, that's what I'm doing next spring. I'm in zone 6A
I just came across your channel,as I am in same zone, great job with planting, ur garden so neatn organized. Sad to not seeing any new vid, hope you're still okay, healthy
Holy cow, what variety is that? It’s huge! They say bittermelon is a warm weather crop, this is true to some extent, but the summer this year in Florida is stunting almost everything except for my banana plants. I find bitter melon does really well in cooler weather, at least cooler than south florida.
I love bittermelon . The one I grew get old really fast . I don’t like that. Can you tell me what variety of bittermelon you bought and grow? Where do you get the seeds from?? Thanks
