Hello everyone. Please can anyone help with an advice on how to grow Telfairia occidentalis (which is of the fluted pumpkin family) in the UK? This plant grows in Nigeria where I come from and would like to plant it here in Manchester where I live. Many of my friends I spoke with have tried it but to no avail. So I will be happy if anyone can help with an advice on how to grow the plant here. Thanks.
