I like the idea of a plant that is both a food and bath aid! <br /><br />I can't say the same for bitter melon. It is a bit of an acquired taste I think. I actually like bitter things but bitter gourds is just a step to far for me. <br /><br />Happy cucurbit growing!gardengluthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878662637625011658noreply@blogger.com
