Hi Ross. Just wondering. Are you growing any bittermelon? I am trying to spread the word about how great this medicinal plant is. Welcome to the forum. Glen

I have a lot of problems finding sedes where I live myself. We don't have internet seed stores and the agrostores sell very Little seed here in Panama. Most of it is sold in big cans for farmers. We beg borrow and steal here. I know how you feel.

I did provide a suggestions on how to find some seed on the thread, Bittermelon and its benefits. In a pinch, this suggestion could get you started. You can buy bittermelon sedes online but I know, its a Little pricey to buy one pack of seed and also pay the shipping. Once you have seed, you will have it forever.

This morning I was so happy to harvest 4 very large bright shiny bittermelon. Great to know that others will soon be picking them as well. Good stuff.
