Our terrace garden looks a bit messy...
For several week this space was neglected.
We had extreme weather in last three weeks.
Very dry weather for about two weeks, then very wet weather later.
It shocked our plants, here in our terrace garden.
Some plants finally died, poor and others grew wildly.
Look... this was our terrace garden two days ago.
Bligo or wax gourd finally invaded into our terrace garden.
The vine broke some vegetables on the rack.
Finally, I tidied up this space, pruned the leaves, and training the vine.
I found five fruits behind the leaves.
Thanks GOD...

BLIGO: FIRST HARVEST
Finally we get some fruits to be harvested from the Bligo or wax gourd vine (Benincasa hispida).
Six fruits in so many different maturity.
I have learned a little things about how to cook this fruit.
Now, it's time to practicing those recipes.
I think we should share these fruits with our friends.
This is small fruiting variety.
Common Bligo is usually much bigger than ours.
I think small size is much better for us, a small family.
First recipe ... Fresh drink... Wax gourd in melon syrup.
Thanks GOD...

ENJOYING THE BLIGO PATCH
Our backyard is really messy right now.
Look... the trellis next to the kitchen is full of Bligo leaves (Benincasa hispida).
Mostly old leaves, yellowish and withered.
But... we can find some fruits are hanging or laying on this trellis.
I still have no idea when is the best time to harvest them.
The weight of the fruit is about 1-2 kilograms.
The flower is so beautiful...
Love to enjoy this patch.

BLIGO : WELCOME TO THE KITCHEN
As a lazy gardener, sometimes I let our home garden looks what it is.
The plants grow naturally looks like as wild.
But sometime that's annoying.
Look... the vine of Bligo or Kundur (Benincasa hispida) is sneaking into the kitchen through the small gaps under the roof.
Dangling...
Fresh new shoot...
New shoot is peeking!
Male flower buds...
Female flower a day after bloomed.
Little female flower bud.
A visitor...
They have been sneaking since three weeks ago, but I have had no time to cut them or tidy up.
Just enjoy the long shoot in the kitchen...
