            No idea, I got the seeds last year but didnt get round to planting any.
            I wasnt planning on eating them I was just planning on growing back scrubbers if succesful.

              I grew it 4 years ago and last year too. Last summer was terrible, the young flower buds were killed by frost (they were grown outside).
              Mapcr77 are you growing it for the sponge or as veggie ? for veggie, grow the ridge one...yummy! For the sponge, grow the non ridge one. They will need sunny and warm location and grow better in a green house.

              Allotmentlady,no idea about the nutrition value but I love the taste .

                I think they're a bit like courgette but maybe with watery, spongy texture so tends to shrink a lot from cooking. I love eating them .

                Anybody grown Hairy Gourd in the UK or Europe?

                  Veg,

                  is it the edible hairy gourd ? I might grow it if I can sqeeze in a vine.

                    Certainly only the edible kind for me . Can't spare land for ornamentals. They're quite nice to eat, not quite like your normal courgette, more succulent and tender, slurpy, slurpy, slippery in the mouth.

                      Which of my courgette do you mean ?

                      I might have eaten the hairy gourd before but not really sure.

                        I am intending on growing to make the back scrubbers for a green project.

                          I think jungleseeds.co.uk do seeds for these, they were definitely selling them last year.
