Tindora (Coccinia grandis) AKA Ivy Gourd

Warm Season (Tender) Perennial Vine can be grown as an annual

Full Sun

Vigorous vine cannot take frost

Best in Ground or Raised Beds or Large Containers

Dioecious -- separate male and female plants (fruits only on female)

Pest and Disease Resistant (far more so than cucumbers)

Tindora is widely eaten in India and parts of Asia, and is naturalized in many places of the world such as Florida. In climates with freezes it can be grown as annual just like a cucumber and does well that way. It is tougher and more pest and disease resistant than cucumbers. 

The super young fruit is a delicious crunchy, cucumber-like snack, albeit quite small. The larger young fruit is harvested and can be eaten just like a cucumber. Very nice texture that we greatly favor over regular cucumbers which can get a little slimy. However, there is a bit of cucumber bitterness in tindora, like older varieties of cucumber. 

In many parts of the world, the cucumber-like young fruits are cooked in various dishes. We have yet to try this, but I would imagine it would really shine when treated as such. 

Unlike regular cucumbers that get inedibly bitter upon age, tindora fruits pretty much always stay edible and eventually the ripe fruit taste like a bland, low sugar persimmon to us and can be eaten fresh. 

The only real drawback to these plants we have found is the male and female, dioecious nature of the vines. Seedlings will yield approximately half male, half female plants. Fruit, of course, can only be made on the female plants. Viable seeds can only be had with both male and female plants growing together. Whether or not female plants will fruit, we do not yet know. If so, cuttings could be made of female plants to ensure production of fruit. 

These seeds are hard to come by, and supply is limited.

Great travel book for kids.
Format: Paperback
This book was great, I plan to get one for any other city we visit that they have a book for. Good level info for my 8 year old but also had some fun things for my 4 year old to do. Very flexible so we could just see what we were going to see & work it into the ‘mission’. We would bust it out at our cafe/people watching stops to see what we needed to do at the next stop. The information was fun for kids and adults. You get to set points for a few things so the mission is completely attainable no matter what you do in the city AND you can set points for adventurous things your kiddos might not otherwise do... eg I got my 4 year old to try escargot!

Worth it!
Format: Paperback
Great book to help keep kids engaged and excited to tour through Paris. Recently used it on our trip with 5-8 year olds and had a blast searching for paintings in museums or various sites through the city. Had some interesting facts/history to share about the various places (although wish it had more)

Kept a 10 year old engaged
Format: Paperback
I bought this for my 10 year old for our trip to Paris. It contained some activities that kept him interested during our museum/castle trips. It even lead us to Chateau de Vincennes which we wouldn’t have found on our own! The Louvre hunt had us going all over the place (mainly because he can’t leave anything incomplete) but it helped initiate conversations about history. The only issue is that the Notre Dame challenge is sadly impossible to complete now based on the fire in April. I also wish something would be added regarding Les Invalides. If you have elementary aged kids then I would highly recommend.

Excellent addition to a trip
Format: Paperback
Just got back from Paris. My 9 year old daughter loved using this book throughout our adventures. It was light enough to carry with us each day and had a nice mix of information to read and things to look for. There were A LOT of different sites listed. In a week we still didn't get to some of them. Would definitely buy one of these books for another trip.
