Today we are harvesting from our incredibly prolific Fig Leaf Gourd plant. This vine is huge and can reach up to 15 metres in length! It has started taking over our garden, and we are rewarded with huge melon like fruits. This plant is the perfect permaculture plant and would be fantastic in a food forest. Come see how many we can harvest!

Pretty & Unusual gourd. I have self growing gourds yearly here in Brisbane. So much helpful info on them thank you😊

@12acresfarm 12 часов назад

Yes very pretty. They almost look like a watermelon. 🍉 That's fantastic about your self growing gourds. I love self growing plants! It makes gardening so much fun. 😀

Hi! 😄

The small ones are very teisty, like cukini. You can make soup or some other kind of vegy dish but you can also perserve them in a jar for the winter time.

@12acresfarm 14 дней назад

Yes, I love adding them to soups. They have the texture of zucchini when they are young. 😊

I’m loving your channel. So glad I found you. I’m right into growing perennial vegetables. I’m not sure if I missed whether you mentioned it on the video, but Fig Leaf Gourd is a perennial. It dies back in Winter and re-grows from the same roots in Spring (as long as you protect the roots from frost (with mulch for example) 😊

Thanks so much! 😀 It is great to have you here. 🌻 Oh wow! That's so awesome! I thought it was only a perennial in warmer climates. That is fantastic to know. I will make sure I keep the root area covered. 😀

@@12acresfarm if you do a follow-up on it in Spring, will you let us know how you go? 🙏🏼

@12acresfarm День назад

Yes definitely.👍 😀

You can store them for max 7 years. In the past they took them on the boat to sail over the ocean.

Oh wow! This is great to know. I will have to grow even more this year! Thanks! 😀👍
