Review: Seeds are sprouting - 2nd batch of seeds the ones I planted are sprouting. 1st review Did not germinate the entire package of seeds, I am getting a replacement packet so if they sprout I will update my review.
Review: They are sprouting!! - I read a book about growing gourds from seeds, and I snipped off the “ears” with a nail clipper, and soaked them overnight. I then planted them with seed starter mix in a tray with small compartments but then when I tried to remove them, some seedlings broke. So, I planted a few more seeds in peat pots, which I can plant directly in the ground once they grow 4 leaves. The seedlings grew so long that they were flopping over so I bought aluminum wire on desertcart and made stands that looked like lollipops so the circle at the top could hold them up. I also bought a grow light, not really necessary, though out of all the different kinds of seeds I planted, the gourd seeds are doing the best. Keep in mind that there will always be a few that don’t germinate but that’s life…and one thriving plant will take up a lot of room and proliferate.

## Features

- Exceptional Growth - Bottle Gourd, also known as Calabash or Birdhouse gourd, has a unique, fast-growing vine that reaches 10-20 feet long and produces high yields of smooth fruits. It is heat-tolerant, prolific, and suitable for both ground and trellis cultivation. We suggest providing support for more uniformly shaped gourds that are protected from rot.
- Versatile Use - Bottle Gourds are widely used in a variety of cuisines, particularly in Indian and Chinese dishes. When dried, they can be used for crafts, especially in making drinking vessels or birdhouses for the purple martin and other cavity nesting birds.
- Sustainable Living - Cultivating Bottle Gourd in your outdoor garden contributes to sustainable living by providing food, crafting materials, and habitat for birds to nest in. Calabash is especially attractive to bees and moths that aid in the pollination and contribute to the overall ecosystem of your garden.
- The Info You Need to Grow - Seeds are packed in a beautiful paper packet with instructions for successful growing and germination in your home garden. Also includes instructions for saving seeds after harvest.
- Small American Family-Owned Business - We’re dedicated to providing fresh, high-quality Gourd seeds for planting now or future seasons. We sell only safe, non-hybrid non-GMO heirloom seeds that are open-pollinated and untreated.
