Transplanting Tips:

• Timing is Key: Wait until the danger of frost has passed and the soil temperature is warm (around 70°F).
• Prepare Your Soil: Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Amend the soil with compost or manure for extra nutrients.
• Gently Separate Seedlings: Carefully remove the seedlings from the tray, keeping as much root ball intact as possible.
• Space them Out: Plant your seedlings 3-4 feet apart to allow them room to grow.

Watering and Sunlight:

• Water Wisely: Water your bottle gourds regularly, especially during hot and dry weather. Aim for deep watering that soaks the soil thoroughly, letting the top inch dry before watering again.
• Sun Seekers: Bottle gourds are sun-loving plants. Aim for at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day.

Plant Care and Pest Management:

• Support System: As your bottle gourds grow, they’ll need support for their climbing vines. A trellis, fence, or poles work well.
• Feed the Good Guys: Regularly apply a balanced organic fertilizer to ensure healthy growth.
• Keep an Eye Out: Watch for common pests like beetles and squash bugs. You can often remove them by hand or use organic pest control methods like insecticidal soap.

Harvesting and Enjoying:

• Ready When Right: Your bottle gourds are ready to harvest when they reach their desired size and the skin feels firm.
• Delicious Versatility: Bottle gourds are a versatile vegetable. Enjoy them cooked in curries, stir-fries, or simply steamed with a drizzle of olive oil and herbs.
