Once again I managed to get hold of some white bitter gourd seeds from the white bitter gourd that I bought from a noodle stall. I purposely chose a bitter gourd that had a tinge of orange colour, meaning that the seeds are matured enough to be sowed. When I cut the bitter gourd for cooking, I kept aside the seeds for sowing.
One of the white bitter gourd seedlings from the sowed seeds.
First fruit from the bitter gourd vines.
Bitter gourds hanging from the vines.
The newly formed bitter gourds are in light green colour.
As they grow bigger, they slowly turned to pearl white colour.
This round the bitter gourds are not very big.
I took this snapshots under the semi shade with the bitter gourds hanging from the vines above me. From this image, how many bitter gourds can you spot?
Compared to the normal green bitter gourds, these white ones has a crunchier texture and the bitter taste is very slight.

One morning when we drove to town for breakfast, I saw this new mural.
This mural is a tribute and "thank you" to our frontliners fighting the covid virus.
This mural covers the whole side wall of this corner lot.
Frontliners comforting and encouraging one another.
Thank you to all frontliners here and elsewhere.
Linking to Monday Mural.
Lord, with all my heart I thank you.
I will sing your praises before the armies of angels.
I face your Temple as I worship, giving thanks
to you for all your loving-kindness and your faithfulness,
for your promises are backed by all the honor of your name.
When I pray, you answer me and
encourage me by giving me the strength I need.
(Psalm 138:1-3, The Living Bible-TLB)
