Would love to have Yard Long Beans & Bitter Gourd again

Hi gardening pals, I'm new to this forum, old gardener, used to have lots of YL Beans and Bitter Gourds ( Momordica Charantia), planted some seeds from the trade and no germination.

I'd send extra postage for fresh seeds of these.

Hope to hear from someone soon,

Bea

You might want to consider buying fresh seed from a reputable supplier. There are several that offer a good selection of both yardlong beans and bittermelons. Evergreen is my favorite.

Here is a link that might be useful: Evergreen Seeds

Bea,

We are in the same zone but I'm in TX. I have some yard long beans for you and would love to get your coral vine seeds. My bitter melon have not done too well:( But I can send a few seeds for some of the yellow marigold seeds.

Been a while, posting so much made me forget about this site...sorry folks.
Farmer, thank you for the suggestion. I've done a search and can't see the orange colored Bitter Gourd with cylindrical fruit that when ripe splits open revealing red coated seeds.
Small yellow fragrant flowers is a bonus.

Betsy, I'd love any amount. Have plenty of Coral Vine and a few yellow marigolds left. Let me know what esle we can trade for, check my page... I have some new seeds.

Sent you email Macaroni, hope you still have seeds.

I have a few kinds of peppers, tomatoes, spinach etc, if anyone is interested.

thanks all,

Bea
