Gourds can also be grown on a trellis or arbor. When growing gourds in the garden, take into account their long growing season and plan accordingly. Here's some additional information about growing gourd seed. Gourds don't like cold weather and don't germinate well in cold soil. If directly sowing gourd seeds into the garden, wait to plant until all danger of spring frost has passed and the soil is warm If starting gourd seeds indoors, wait until all danger of frost has passed before transplanting seedlings to the garden.
Like other vine crops, gourd seeds are usually planted in hills at a rate of seeds per hill. Plant gourd seeds about 1 inch deep and water well. Gourd seeds started indoors should be planted at the same depth.
Because gourd seeds have hard seed coats, they can take weeks to germinate. To speed up the germination process, soak the gourd seeds in water for up to 24 hours before sowing.
If you live in an area with a long growing season, we recommend directly sowing gourd seeds into the garden. Gourd plants don't like to have their roots disturbed.
If transplanting seedlings, avoid disturbing their roots. Gourds should be harvested when they are fully mature and before the first fall frost. They are ready for harvest when the stem is brown and dry. Use a knife or shears to cut the stem. Wipe the gourd with a cloth and rubbing alcohol to remove soil and any soil-borne bacteria. If the gourd is really dirty, wash it in warm, soapy water and rinse with a household disinfectant that is diluted with clean water. Dry the gourds on newspapers in a warm, dry place with good air circulation.
Space the gourds out so that they do not touch each other. Do not let dew fall on the gourds at night. The drying process usually takes at least 4 weeks. After using your gourds for fall decorations, you can break them open and scoop out the seeds. Most gourds can be grown in a small space, with vines trailing up a trellis or wire fence. This method also prevents the fruit from becoming misshapen, which might happen if left to trail on the ground.
All gourd varieties are warm weather crops, requiring well-drained fertile soil. Plastic mulch can be used to raise soil temperature, conserve moisture and control weeds. Like pumpkins, gourds require proper field spacing and pollinators to produce big yields. Sufficient honeybee populations in the area are key to good pollination but the larger hardshell Lageneria types are also pollinated by moths during the evening hours.
If possible, plant these types on the darkest areas of your farm so that any artificial light will not distract this important pollinator. On my second new game playthru I knew I was missing one. I went thru the list. I gave Emma all of the gourd seeds but I didn't get the ultimate healing gourd achievement.
I have 10 uses of the gourd and when I talk to Emma the game says the Gourd can't be upgraded any further. Any help? It's surprising how many people can't do simple maths. You start with 1 gourd use, and get 9 more later. Actually it's 10! I do not know where I got the tenth But it's 10 and not 9.
My Save to proof. I totally ran right past the fourth one. After barely escaping the Nightjars on the roof I was so relieved to see the Idol that nothing else registered, felt foolish later. I might have missed one but I swear my game glitched.
