Hey Indira,
Just loved the Ridge Gourd. You are one lucky lady to get such a harvest!!!
Indira,
That looks so healthy and ready to be eaten..Good to see your summer harvest.
nice video,..
The ridge guard looks tender and succulent.
Beautiful harvest of turai! How long does it take from planting to harvest? Here, in Minnesota, my ridgegourd plant is still growing with only male flowers!
Dear Indra,
Love the beerakai.
One queston though, when we buy it at the store sometimes there are one or two that are bitter. Have you faced this problem?
Please post more pictures of your vegetable garden, I really enjoy growing things. Since we have an issue with deer, our garden is restricted to only flower and fruit. The animals and us share the harvest:)

Hi Indira, amazing harvest of ridge gourds ! I had a question…what kind of a support do you provide for your vines ? Do you have a kind of a trellis ? Would love to know …
What a lovely lot of turai…
It is indeep a lovely sight to watch. You must have a big back yard 🙂
Lovely, time for some peerkangakai thogayal! Can you ship them out 😀
Was waiting for the next garden update. Lovely. Fills me with joy to see plants with flowers and veggies.
Thanks beautiful people for your lovely garden notes.
Random Gardener: Loved looking at your garden harvest photos.
About turai, I planted the seeds in April, so about four months. For our vine plants, it’s best to plant atleast a couple of plants for both male and female flower production and successful fruiting.
Dear Mona: no, so far.
I will. Thanks.
Chaaya: I have written about a post about homemade vine support last year. You can find it in Garden Log archives.
Good harvest! Kanula vindu ga vundi.

Hi Indira,
Beerakaaya is afavorite in our home too….tried planting from seed of vegetable from indian store last year with no luck, is there a specific website where you buy seeds for indian plants?
Any preparation tips before planting seeds?

Hello Indira,
I have been visiting ur blog since a very long time for some recipes. I have a question regarding the beerakaaya plant. What kind of soil have you used for beerakaaya. Coz my beerakaaya is little on yellowish shade and flowering already when all it has is about 15 leaves on it. Please advice.
Thank you.
