The bitter guards are here again! My parents procured long variety seeds from their native place and we sowed a few seeds in the ground garden in late March. All three seeds took off but only one survived. One died when I stomped on it by mistake while watering and another gave in when we went for a four day vacation. The only one survived made up for the others and giving us a good harvest.The bitter guards from this plant are not very long as the one from our native place but still longer than whatever we have grown in the past.
So now we are having bitter guard curries and poriyal often thanks to this lone survivor. Some pictures here below...
