Join us in the garden as we harvest fresh snake gourds, also known as chachinda or podalangai, grown in both raised beds and containers! Snake gourds are a unique and nutritious vegetable, commonly used in many delicious dishes. In this short video, we walk you through the process of harvesting snake gourds at their peak and share valuable gardening tips for growing them in small spaces or raised beds.
We begin by showcasing our healthy snake gourd plants thriving in containers and raised beds, offering ideal growing conditions for this climbing vegetable. Raised beds and containers provide excellent drainage, better soil control, and ease of access for regular maintenance, making them perfect for growing snake gourds. You’ll learn how to determine when the snake gourds are ready to harvest—before they become too mature and lose their tenderness.
In addition to the harvesting tips, we offer practical advice on caring for your snake gourd plants, including the best practices for watering, fertilizing, and supporting the long vines. We also provide insights into companion planting, such as pairing snake gourds with hyacinth beans for better garden efficiency.
Watch this video to discover how you can grow and harvest snake gourds from your home garden, whether you’re using containers or raised beds, and enjoy this nutritious vegetable in your meals!
