• The trunk of the gấc plant in my grandfather’s garden is quite large, having grown over many years. Its trunk is as thick as a rolling pin, and its roots spread out all over the surrounding area.

I. Introduction: Introduction to the gourd vine
My family has a gourd vine growing in front of our house, and it bears an abundance of fruit thanks to my mother's meticulous care and attention.

II. Main Body:

a. General description:

• From a distance, the gourd vine appears lush and green, providing shade over a wide area, with countless fruits hanging, ready for harvest.
• The gourd vine is replanted every year, and each year it produces a bountiful harvest.

b. Detailed description:

• The gourd vine covers a large area of about ten square meters.
• The vine’s stem is soft, green, and covered with fine hairs. Branches and leaves sprout from the stem.
• The leaves are large, like spread-out hands. The gourd leaves resemble those of the melon plant, with dark green on top and lighter green underneath, sometimes covered in a white powdery coating.
• The leaves have prominent veins that resemble tiny capillaries, bringing nutrients and water to nourish the leaves. Both sides of the leaves are covered with fine white hairs.
• The roots are fibrous, firmly embedded in the soil, drawing nutrients from it.
• In late summer to early autumn, the first flowers begin to bloom. Initially, the buds are small and green, and as time passes, they grow and reveal their brilliant yellow petals. At the center, there is the pistil and the calyx.
• Over time, the flowers fall off and the fruits begin to grow. At first, the fruits are tiny, green, and tender, gradually growing larger and longer. Once fully grown, they measure about 40 to 50 cm, with a smooth dark green skin covered in fine hairs.
• If you want to eat them while they’re still tender, they can be harvested when they reach about 30 cm in length. If left too long, they become tough and dry, and the seeds are used for planting the next crop. There are many different types of gourds.
• Inside the fruit is thick flesh, with a yellow seed in the center, surrounded by white, spongy pulp.
• Each gourd vine yields about 20 to 30 fruits per season, depending on the variety and care. The yield can be more or less depending on the cultivation.
• Gourds are a great source of fiber for us.

3. Conclusion:

• Personal reflection:
• I really enjoy watching the gourd fruits sway in the wind. I plan to help my mother take care of the vine so we can enjoy her delicious gourd soup together.

a. The trellis

• Using flexible bamboo sticks, my father skillfully weaved a trellis for the gourd vine to climb.
• The trellis stands by the pond, about four meters long and three meters wide, securely held together with metal wires.
  

b. The gourd vine

• I remember that when it started, the plant was tiny, but now it’s grown tall, with tendrils wrapping around the trellis like arms firmly gripping it.
• The gourd’s leaves are lush and green, resembling the leaves of a Japanese maple tree, with edges curled in and out like serrated teeth.
• As a climbing plant, the tendrils of the gourd wrap around the bamboo poles, extending in all directions to catch the sunlight and breeze.
• The gourd flowers are bright yellow, standing out against the fresh green leaves. The large flowers have five soft petals, as delicate as butterfly wings, blooming like a cheerful smile. The trellis casting a reflection on the pond creates a stunning image, with golden flowers sparkling on the surface, while the fish swim around the trellis without a care.
• When the flowers begin to fall, that’s when the gourd fruits start to grow. They sprout in all sizes, from finger-sized to the size of a small fish. The gourd fruits are cylindrical and can be either straight or slightly curved. When harvested young, they are light green, but if left too long, they mature and dry out.

c. Uses

• Gourd is a beloved dish in Vietnamese cuisine. It’s often used in soups, such as in crab soup, or stir-fried with various other ingredients.
• The gourd leaves are also used to wipe sticky jackfruit sap, as they easily cling to it.
