Good day my people.having tried tomatoe, pepper and cucumber with sack farming, now am experimenting on pumpkin. and if it eventually yield a good result. then we are hitting dry season below belt.

I dey with you

But is "our" pumpkin the same as the ones used for halloween? I have never come across someone who has eaten the pumpkin itself. Just the leaves

21 ugu seeds were purchased from the local market, dried for five days and planted.
soil preparation. two wheel barrows of sand three bags of manure.(poultry dungs). and filled into the perforated sacks. and arranged 10 per roll. on 20/10/2016.

Ok.
I don't know o.
In my area we eat the both leaves and the fruit. The frut can be cooked and eaten raw when its not that very matured. The seed can also be cooked, fermented and used in cooking so IBO soup (oha soup). its serves same purpose as the yoruba locust beans(Iru) or the anambra/enugu (ogiri) for making bitterleaf soup.

Germination started on 27/10/2016. and I only had 18/20. dats a good germination rate recorded. and so far the stems are climbing very well. kudos to the rich soil they have. watering is done three times in a week.
pictures of the trellis for them to climb is coming in later in the evening. I adopted my trellis in my cucumber thread. but this time i did link it up with the two rolls so dat the ugu will climb up and form a bed like structure above 6ft.

gud work but u made one mistake, u used rope trellis. Once d ugu mean buiness d rope will not b able to hold d weight of the ugu as it will bcome thick n heavily branched so i ll advice bamboo stake and bamboo trellis, secondly no need for trellis if u are not staking for seedry ( ugu pod)

soo sorry the project was suspended. due to logistics.
I promise to come with a better package in new topic.

Actually they're both related. Ugly is gotten from the fluted pumpkin while the other type is from the round fat type
