Ridgegourd seeds are black in colour and easy to grow. Ridge Gourd is a vigorously growing climbing vine with thick green leaves and fleshy long fruits with tough skin and ridges. The vine is almost free from pest attacks and diseases. It can be grown in the ground or in a container with a trellis/net/wall for it to climb on.

The fruit is 15-17″ long and even in width. Also known as Chinese okra, it  is a versatile vegetable. It is a dark green, ridged and tapering, pretty vegetable. It has white pulp with white seeds embedded in spongy flesh. A ridge gourd also commonly known as Turai or Turiya is beloved in India. Its hard skin is peeled off and chopped and cooked as desired.

Beetroot is also known as garden beet. This sweet, healthy vegetable is loaded with antioxidants. The plant is edible in its entirety, from the leaves to the root. The taproot ranges in shape from globular to long and tapered.  Skin and flesh colours are usually dark purplish red, though some are nearly white or orange.  Beets are a cool-weather crop that should be planted in early to midspring and late summer to early fall. They have a short enough growth cycle that you can actually plant them at any time, as long as you can keep them fairly cool. 
 
Beets are earthy, delicious vegetables that are easy to grow in a garden or in a greenhouse. They can even grow them in pots indoors or on the porch. As with many root vegetables, beets are easy to store, making them an ideal vegetable to stock up on for long winters.

Onion (Allium cepa) is a herbaceous biennial plant of the amaryllis family (Amaryllidaceae) grown for  its edible bulb. The onion is likely native to southwestern Asia but is now grown throughout the  world, chiefly in the temperate zones. Onions are low in nutrients but are valued for their flavour  and are used widely in cooking. They add flavour to dishes like stews, roasts, soups, and  salads and are also served as a cooked and raw vegetable.

Onions are very hardy and can survive in a wide range of growing conditions. The bulbs  vary in size, shape, colour, and pungency, though warmer climates generally produce  onions with a milder, sweeter flavour.  The onion’s characteristic pungency results from the sulfur-rich volatile oil it contains; the  release of this oil during peeling or chopping brings tears to the eyes
