Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and enhance germination.

Sowing:

Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost date when the soil has warmed to at least 70°F (21°C).
Plant seeds 1 inch deep.
Space seeds 24-36 inches apart in rows that are 6-8 feet apart.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under ideal conditions.

Transplanting:

Direct sowing is recommended, as bottle gourds do not transplant well due to their delicate root systems.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist, especially during dry periods.
Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Provide sturdy support, such as a trellis or arbor, for the vines to climb.
Monitor for pests such as aphids and squash bugs, and treat as necessary.
Harvest gourds when they reach the desired size and before the skin becomes too hard. For edible use, young and tender gourds are best. For ornamental use, allow the gourds to mature fully on the vine before harvesting.

Happy gardening!
