Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation is required for gourd seeds. However, soaking seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting can help speed up germination.

Sowing:

Sow seeds directly into the garden once all danger of frost has passed and soil temperature is consistently above 60°F (16°C).
Plant seeds 1 inch deep and space them 12-18 inches apart in rows or mounds, depending on the variety.
Ensure the soil is well-drained and enriched with organic matter.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

While gourds are usually grown from direct seeding, if you prefer to start seeds indoors, use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance.
Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date, ensuring to harden them off gradually before planting in the garden.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging.
Support: Some gourd varieties may benefit from support, such as trellises or stakes, to prevent fruit from sitting on the ground and to promote even growth.
Pruning: Regularly prune away any dead or diseased foliage to maintain plant health and appearance.
