This is the close up picture of Tindora (common name in India) It belongs to Cucurbitaceous family and its botanical name is Coccinnea grandis. It grows as a vine. It is also known as Ivy Gourd.
A friend gave me a seedling last year. We had a good yield from it. Since the vegetable itself is small, it is easy to miss them in the thick foliage of the vines. My daughter says they are playing hide and seek with us. Harvesting these little gourds is fun.
At the end of the season and before the first frost we cut the thick stem into several 4 inch pieces. We placed some in a cup of water and some in the soil (in pots) and kept them indoors.
Guess I must have a green thumb. Wow all of them shot up. I have one that already has a fruit on it! I had to provide support with stakes as the vines grew and climbed over my blinds. I can’t wait to plant them outside and let them grow wild.

Hi Sella,
ReplyDeleteI love eating this vegetable and would love to grow it in my garden. Please send me a cutting and in return I will send you a box of very sweet crispy persimmons in November 2013. It is past season now and all my persimmons are gone this year but I promise I will send them to you next year. My email is lalasa_1999@yahoo.com. Please write to me.
Thanks
Sorry I meant November 2014
DeleteThis year I did not get any success in water rooting. So i have put some sticks in soil to see if they will root. They will form new shoots only by spring maybe in feb or march, only then i can be sure they have root and will grow in your yard. Mail me by feb i will let you know if I can send you one. I think the strong winter we have this year in Tx is affecting this plant?
DeleteLet us keep our fingers crossed.

It's much better to spend the money on the pans you need, and that will last, rather than making do with the wrong size pans, which you bought just because they were cheap. best cookware 2020
