Seeds can also be started indoors near to the last leg of the winter.Sow gourd seeds 8 to 12 inches apart as soon as the soil is warm enough to germinate and there is no danger of frost anymore.Plant one to three plants in a hill and space hills 6 feet apart. To facilitate germination, scrape the seed coat with a file or allow seeds to stay warm for at least 24 hours.Note - Seeds are really slow to germinate.WATERING-The plants can't survive muddy waterlogged soil. Keep the soil moist but not soggy.SOIL-They like well-drained loamy soil with a soil pH in the range of 5.8 to 6.4.SPOT-Gourds should be planted outdoors in full sunlight.TEMPERATURE-Gourds grow best in temperatures between 23 to 29 C [75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit].
