Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation: Soak seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and improve germination rates.

Sowing: 

Plant seeds directly into warm soil after the danger of frost has passed. Space seeds 12-18 inches apart in rows or hills.

Germination: 

Germination typically occurs within 7-10 days under optimal conditions of soil warmth and moisture.

Transplanting: 

Sponge gourd seeds do not transplant well due to their sensitive root systems. Therefore, it's best to sow seeds directly into the garden bed where they'll grow.

Care and Maintenance: 

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged throughout the growing season. Provide support for the vines to climb, such as trellises or stakes. Mulch around plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest sponge gourds when they are young and tender, typically 6-8 inches in length, by cutting them from the vine with pruning shears. Regular harvesting encourages continued production.

Happy gardening!
