Again, I received the seeds quickly, but won’t plant them until Spring of 2022. I have grown Bitter Melon for some years now satisfactorily, but they were always smaller and delicate when compared to the BM sold at our local Asian Market (A Dong). I’m hoping they will be about ten to fifteen inches long, and two to three inches in diameter, solid green in color, as the sales photo appears.

Received the seeds well packaged. i have soaked seeds for 2 hours clipped off using nail cutter and soaked for another 22 hours. I have used heat pad to germinate the seeds in a paper towel in a zip lock bag. seeds germinated in 2 days. I cant wait to see them grow.
