Instructions

Best practice: sow a few Garden Birdhouse Gourds seeds evenly spaced in hills, 8" high and 12" across. Young vines should have a fence, trellis, or heavy cord on which to climb. When young vines are about 8", thin to 3 plants per hill. Does not transplant well.

Planting Depth: 1.5"

Seed Spacing: Sow Garden Birdhouse Gourds seeds roughly 6' apart.

Nutrient Care Instructions: Apply SUPERthrive once per week. Soak in solution of 1/4 tsp per gal for 15 min. or longer depending on size and type.

Suggestions

To dry gourds, wait until gourd is fully developed and hard enough to pick from the vines. Pick before frost. To preserve, avoid brushing and wash thoroughly. Store in a dry, well-ventilated place until thoroughly dried out and hard. Can then be waxed or painted.
