My Fruiting Fluted Pumpkins.

Hello Hive,

Pumpkin leaves are harvested from the pumpkin seeds family, that has been planted on a quality soil, germinated, growing and then producing it's own pumpkin leaves and fruits. After a longer time, it will start flowering and thereby fruiting for our eating of some of the fruits, and as well preserve some for our next season's plantings. That's how the reproduction circle continues ever and ever....

Pumpkins seeds are the most popular seeds planted,

My fluted pumpkin crawled on my new pawpaw tree and started fruiting

I think every where in the African soil, but mostly in the south eastern areas of Nigeria, the Igbos, it's wildly used in the area and in Nigeria at large.

Fluted pumpkins otherwise known as (Ugu) has so many benefiting properties for us the humans.

Blood builder.....Cutting some leaves washed them thoroughly and squeezed, gives you a beautiful greenish source or liquid, drink it, constantly for like two weeks, the anemic situation will disappear completely, the patients blood flow and quality will be better and balanced.

The pumpkin leaves are used for making some exceptional vegetable soups known as...Edikikong soup, which is the chiefest among all the soups you can use pumpkin leaves to prepare. Very proper for veggieterians ....just veggie...

Pumpkins vegetable soup or any other way you desire to use it is a source of iron

Source of magnesium to our bodies

Fiber, potassium and calcium are not left out

Fluted pumpkin leaves should be in our every day's meal because it has an Antioxidants properties inside it. As it also boosts our immune systems, making us healthy and rejuvenating our systems for healthiness

I planted many pumpkin seeds last year, and all through the time they were producing their leaves for our usage. There was this very healthy one that was very productive but had refused to bear fruits for other season's plantings.

I kept on looking and believing it would bear some fruits, because it was very healthy having a very long stem and healthy root that supposed to enable it bear fruits. But it was very leavy.... No fruits.

This was when insects were eating the leaves up i applied some liquid insect killer and the insects left

This year again, it began having branches, producing leaves yet no fruiting at all. At a time, i stopped cutting the leaves to see what happens, now suddenly it began to produce fruits, this has made me very happy.

Yesterday, i went looking at it and saw the fruits getting bigger and bigger....just to fulfill my earliest expectations that that particular root that has been this healthy for this two years time must bear some fruits that would warrant me some seeds for other years plantings... Now my guess is real, friuting, friuting all the way....

My heart desire is now fulfilled by mare seeing them. I have been able to see two of them but one is bigger than the other, i know it's growing, and getting bigger by the day.

This has really shown that i have hope for the next season's planting from my own garden, i mean, the one i planted by myself not the one i can buy from the market place without knowing their source... excited.

Thank you all for checking up on me, see you next time.
