Fuzzy Melon 毛瓜 (櫛瓜)

Ready to be harvested
about 6" in length

Here's a big one.
This mama is approximately the size
of the above picture prior to my trip to CA.
Look how rapidly it has grown in one week!
I'm going to let it grow and see how big it gets.
Anyone wants seeds from this fuzzy mama
please sign up.

The original melon seeds
came from an ABQ friend. I sowed 12 seeds
and thin to 3 seedlings; 2 plants die
from unknown reasons shortly after transplant.
My guess is transplant shock, or the seeds
were not matured enough to have energy
to grow since they were homegrown.


朋友給的毛瓜籽﹐她種的好大啊﹗
我種三株死兩株﹐就剩這棵了。
不過它很爭氣的結幾個瓜瓜給我看﹐
這種毛瓜讓它長老就是冬瓜了,
可以放幾個月不壞。
