hicksy2Pumpkin patch 2025. Plants are in compost from Green Estates CIC, surrounded by concrete rubble and wood chip to keep the weeds down. I am putting a few bits on for the vines to range up. #allotment #sheffield #cucurbit #greenestatecic
@colinpurrington ok, here you go. mystery #cucurbit challenge. π I might need them to grow a bit more. Theyβre still pretty young. Editing soon on pc to type alt text.
Catherine Rowan Jones/Ivy FoxWe have germination!
Classic #cucurbit cartoon-style seed leaves.
I'm attempting to grow a vegetable again, now I have outdoor space.
Is anyone else here in the #UK #allotment #gardening #vegetable #growyourown groups raising Bolivian Giant #Achocha ?
More info from the seed supplier:
Ms. Que Banh#Cucamelons aka #MouseMelon aka #Pepquinos are easy to grow & do well in PNW areas. Fruits are size of large grapes & they taste like sour cucumbers. Good for pickling. You can eat them raw, like cucumbers. I like dipping them raw into sea salt with some chopped red chili peppers.
It's native range goes from Mexico to Venezuela. Many people grow it in different areas of the world as a food crop.

CallistoI'm growing bitter melons for the first time this year and I'm super excited about them.
So.... I thought squash might fail completely due to the weather this summer. Sheffield, UK, saw the cool and wet b-side to El Nino. But.... I might just have a couple of Turks turban squash to do hygge and that over the winter. #allotment #squash #cucurbit #sheffield
