- This is the third year that I am growing the Scopattizo di San Luigi. I am hoping that, unlike my previous attempts to grow this variety, that I will be able to harvest seed that is much more viable than the seeds that I harvested previously. This is a favorite of some of those who grow it, and it would be very nice if I were fortunate enough to harvest a decent amount of seed.
My first Barese has set a fruit. It's a furry one. I don't know when to pick it but I'm very happy. I don't know how to eat it either. Do I peal the skin off like a carrot? Anyway your plants are lovely. Could you do a video on how to save seeds if you haven't already? Do you have to let them ripen?
What type of Barese? Where did you get the seeds? If it is cylindrical, pick when the fruit is about 1.5-2" in diameter. If it is round, pick when about 3-4" in diameter. This is a general guide.
@@CucumberShop I got them from Totally Tomatoes. It's the only Barese they carry so you can look it up. They only have one photo. I saw those last year and knew nothing about them. Just liked that they were ribbed and a light green color so I added them to my cart. I didn't even know they were a bush type so I put them on a trellis they have not gone up yet like my luffa has.
Yeah. So, it sounds like it may be a Mezzo Lungo di Barese, but knowing Totally Tomatoes, they probably have no idea what the plant looks like, as they are just a reseller. You are welcome to send me a picture, if you would like any further information. You can find my email at CucumberShop.com
@@CucumberShop Ok thanks. I'll probably do that later on. I appreciate the help.
