Hello Hive

Here is the mass of the fluted pumpkins that are now ready for harvest. It always baffles me to know that this particular vegetables is a special kind of vegetables that must not be harvested anyhow. One has to learn the logic behind the harvest of this vegetables.

I remembered the many times I had planted fluted pumpkins at home. Each time a neighbor or friend come visiting and enter the garden to harvest the leaves by themselves, the next time you see the plant it will be dying off already. In order to harvest this perennial crops and keep them alive for as long as possible one has to learn the technique behind how to do this.

For those that are engaged in the business of growing and selling the leaves at the market as it is now it is important to pay attention to the details of the harvest in order to keep the plant alive to make continuous profit from it. You can't afford to be careless with it's rules and harvest principle. There is a way they avoid plucking only the leaves but cutting of some of the fast protruding stems so that the plant can continually grow out more stems. Pulling the trunk and plucking out the leaves alone can kill the plant.

Upon planting the crops it takeseas than 9weeks for harvest to commence. Following from the 12th week and above, the vegetables are properly riped for harvest. It is a good thing that this mass of vegetables has been planted here. One thing is certain, once there is large supply of the veggies in the market, the high price of this important vegetables will drop down so that more people can now afford it.

I have always advise people to add more of this vegetables proteins to their meals, it is one of the important vegetables that boost our blood level and body function. For the poor people who cannot afford too much of the other expensive type of protein meals, this is a good place to start and even if you cannot grow some by yourself you may be able to get some cheap vegetables especially during Harvest like this.

Some people even try to visit us in the farm so that that can buy from the farmers directly instead of buying from retailers at the market.
It's a easy process to prepare some fluted pumpkins soupa and I can take you through one or two ways to make use of the vegetables if anyone desires.
