Our gourds are a special selection of the oddest shapes and colors to please and attract everyone. A rapid growing climber that can be grown on a trellis or allowed to run in the garden.
SOWING…Plant seed outdoors in a sunny location after danger of frost is past or start indoors 4 to 6 weeks earlier. Make a group of 3-5 seeds placed in a ring about 2 inches across; cover with ½ inch of fine soil, well pressed down. Each ring of seeds is called a hill and hills should be spaced 6 to 8 feet apart each way.
THINNING…When plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, thin leaving 3 or 4 strongest plants in each hill.
GERMINATION…Germinates in 10 to 15 days depending on soil and temperature conditions.
REMARKS…May also be planted in rows 6-10 feet apart spacing plants 2-3 feet apart in the row. May also be planted among the corn. Cut from vines with pruning shears leaving 3” of stem. Allow fruits to remain on vine until fully mature. Gather before frost. Wax or shellac mature fruits for year round ornamentals and table decorations.Share
