Calabash, also known as bottle gourd, is a popular vegetable in Asian countries. This cutie if full of minerals and vitamins. I planted it every summer. It is disease resistant, bugs don't bother them too much either. I love the dedicate flavor the bottle gourd, buttery and sweet. I use them mainly for stir fries and soups. Oh, did I mention that it is a fast growing plant? From the mini female flower to the little fruit as shown below only takes 10 days or so!
