Growing Instructions

1. Seed Preparation & Sowing

• Preparation: Soak seeds in lukewarm water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and improve germination.
• Sowing:
  • Direct Sowing: Plant seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep in soil after the last frost, when soil temperatures reach at least 70°F (21°C).
  • Indoor Start (Optional): Start seeds 4-6 weeks before the last frost in biodegradable pots and transplant outdoors once temperatures remain warm.
  • Spacing: Plant seeds 12 inches (30 cm) apart in rows 4-6 feet (1.2-1.8 meters) apart for optimal growth.

2. Germination & Transplanting

• Germination Time: 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
• Transplanting:
  • Harden off seedlings over 7-10 days before transplanting outdoors.
  • Space transplants 12 inches apart in rows 4-6 feet apart to allow for vining.

3. Care & Maintenance

• Watering: Provide deep, regular watering, especially during dry periods. Avoid waterlogging.
• Mulching: Apply mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Support: Train vines onto trellises, stakes, or fences to maximize space and improve airflow.
• Pest Control: Monitor for aphids, spider mites, and caterpillars—use organic pest control methods as needed.

4. Harvesting

• Harvest snake gourds when they are 12-24 inches (30-60 cm) long for the best texture and flavor.
• Use a sharp knife or garden shears to cut the gourds from the vine, leaving a small stem attached to prolong freshness.
