I don’t even eat Indian food…
I never like it when I was a kid but you know what, I love it now…I will put it in soups, stew, pickle them and eat it raw…I truly love it now…and on the plus side it has a lot of healthy benefits…

Nope, tried a bit two summers ago, nope nope. Maybe a little in a soup, but not as a good percentage of the dish.

Really? I’ve only seen bitter melon in indian/paki cooking. How do you use it?
It’s in Asian, Chinese, Pacific Islander dishes too.

I work on a vegetable farm where I’m the only person in charge of a 800 plant greenhouse. We got tomatoes, peppers, tamarillos, ground cherries, oca, yacon, feijoas, yuzu, sugarcane, rose apples, blood limes, jujubes, negi… I could go on 
Also doing some indoor polyculture in my grow room. Got a bunch of potatoes, tamarillos, marigolds, scallions, and cactus down there. Fun stuff! Getting stoked for this years outdoor garden.

It’s oca! An Andean tuber grown as a part of ancient Incan polyculture along with potatoes, ulluco, yacon, and mashua. I’d never heard of any of these things before I started working here lol but they’re fascinating. Oca is a type of oxalis (like a shamrock) and the tubers taste like tangy potatoes with sour cream already inside. We’re the only farm in the US cultivating this stuff on a commercial scale, it’s notoriously picky but seems to love it here in Oregon.
This dudes website has some interesting info about all this stuff!

I believed that I had a brown thumb for a lot of years.
Then I read up on, and started growing cannabis as it became legal in Ca; - Thanks to @DougDawson @Lastmanstandin31 @Hydro-420 @PadawanWarrior & many others that I’m too stoned to @ right now — I can GROW!
As far as other things - my house no longer has the worst landscaping on the block! I have a nice assortment of succulents, a juniper that doesn’t look dead, iceplant that doesn’t overflow it’s bed — I’ve been bitten by the growing bug!
Now that my house is starting to look decent - I’m starting to eye some native species that I can enhance my space with.

Nice I have heard of Oca but have never actually seen it .
From the little I know you def need a very warm climate to grow it . Or at least a lot longer of a frost free season then anywhere near me in Nova Scotia Canada lol
Scratch all of the above LOL I was thinking of Okra haha

You are a great member of the group and teach us plenty as well. It’s great to have multiple perspectives and folks who are willing to learn ways other than their own.
