you mean bora? see picture here

exactly! yuh know de thing man! fresh off the vine, into the pot and is a real good eat! we used to grow them by the bushel

bwoy yu wun belive how expensive dat get in the westindian shop now. I used to buy in the supermarket where often these days you can find it. or from the chinse.

but they never fresh-ish anymore and too expensive!

you can grow bora/bodi year-round if you can supply them with adequate water. when I was groing up we had a seasonal rotation of crops.

in the dry season we planted veggies, especially tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce and so on.

in the rainy season we planted corn, pidgeon peas, bodi/bora...and a ton of ground provisions because its rainy season. we also planted ginger-root and sorrel
