This is only my second attempt at a garden, and I planted sweet peppers, lima beans, and bitter melons. Well, the bitter melons have overgrown the place, far exceeding my expectations. I think they are probably going to choke out the others. I found one that was ripe today, and I'm going to cook it with some chicken, black bean sauce, and green curry sauce (just experimenting).
I'll see how it goes. Since I'm on Metformin, I will have to watch what happens, because apparently, bitter melon can lower the blood sugar by itself.
My previous attempt at a garden several years ago was destroyed by crows and squirrels. I think I got one green pepper, one banana pepper, and 2 hot peppers out of that. So far, I haven't seen a squirrel dumb enough to bite into one of the bitter melons.
