    Hi everyone, I got a big shock to find this New Guinea Bean growing after I had given up on it months ago. I have no experience with it at all, any clues as to how to treat it ?The white flowers are really pretty and fragrant too.Lagenaria siceraria id the correct name. It has grown about a yard almost overnight.

    Treat it like a Chayote ? (chocko vine)
    I see we treat it like a zucchini except we peel it ...or let it grow to maturity to uses it as a gourd.

    Recipes and experiences gratefully accepted please. :-)
