Gourd Planting Information:

Gourds grow well in hot and humid regions, but can be grown in northern regions if seeds are started indoors. For improved germination rates, soak Bottle Gourd seeds overnight and clip the seed tail off. Plant your seeds indoors in large plastic containers several weeks before the last frost. Transplant outdoors in the garden when the soil is warm. In southern regions, you may plant seeds directly in the garden in hills. Gourds have climbing vines and should be grown near a fence or trellis to keep them off the ground. Plants will produce better if supported off the ground. Some types of gourds need to develop on the ground to retain their unique shapes. Add humus after seeds have sprouted to prevent the soil from drying out. Plants grow 2 ft tall, and vines spread up to 10 ft.

Warning: Do not plant in cold, wet soil, or you may experience poor germination!

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

The soil should be continuously moist, but not waterlogged. Water well during dry and hot spells. Make sure plants get ½" of water per week.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro Liquid Fertilizer periodically.

Harvest Tips:

Allow fruit to mature on vine as long as possible. Cut gourds from vines about 1" above the fruit with garden scissors when they are mature.
