Cucurbitaceae, the cucurbit family, contains wide-ranging vining plants that are herbaceous, succulent, or even slightly woody. This family is widely known for vegetables, such as cucumber, watermelon, and zucchini.
There are many Asian vegetables that belong to this family that grow well in Alabama, including bitter melon, luffa, and long squash. These vegetables are healthy, versatile, and delicious.
Join us on Zoom to learn how to grow these Alabama-emergent Asian vegetables. We will discuss botanical descriptions, growing conditions, and uses for these crops.
