GOURDS
Most children and as far as that goes, most older kids ( adults ) enjoy growing gourds. Gourds can be used in many ways. Large
gourds for birdhouses, crafts ( dried, cut, sawed, glued into lions, turtles, etc. ) or birdhouse gourds can even be painted to look like
people. Smaller ones can be painted or used for crafts or fall decorations. PLANTING; Fertile, well drained soil is best. In late
spring or beginning summer, till up soil. Enrich with compost or fertilizer, like Bradfield brand or other. Place seeds 1/2-1" deep,
6-8" apart in a row spacing of 4-5'. Keep weed free and control insects, like cucumber beetle with Sevin or Hy-yield Garden & Pet
dust. For squash bugs, a brick, your heal or a powerful restricted chemical, like Way-Lay. HARVEST; When gourds are fully matured
and firm, not soft, cut from vine. Wash with alcohol, chlorine or vinegar to kill any bacteria that may spoil gourds. Use for fall
decorations or let dry in a cool, dry place for 6-12 weeks until dry and seeds are loose inside of gourd. Scrape off old dried skin by
using a brush and dish soap. Let dry. Paint and use for birdhouses or crafts. For luffa gourds, let dry on vine. After harvest, soak gourd
in warm water and remove outer hard shell. Use insides as a natural sponge. PKT size about 1/4 oz.
You will need 1 OZ of seed per 100' of row or 2 lbs per acre.
