Indian Bitter Melon

The seed of bitter melon is equally unusual, too.

Leftwood, bitter melon is indeed bitter, but it has a cooling sweet after taste. It needs getting used to though. Some people really like it, usually stir-fried with meat.

I have a catalog for you that is worth ordering for the photos alone. It is Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds.It almost makes me want to move so I had enough sun to grow vegetables.

They have seeds from 70 countries many of them from Asia.

Marie they carry 197 varieties of Tomatoes.

The guy that owns the company is 28 and he started it when he was 11 years old.

Pauline, I've seen that one! :) It's a WONDERFUL catalog... I used to get it regularly, but seem to have fallen off their list! Thanks for the reminder!

I drooled, again, last night while paging through the Baker Creek Heirloom seed catalog. They do have a GREAT selection of veggies. Of course, my favorites are those darn tomatoes!
