I started my gourds indoors, then transplanted them outdoors. It's been about 3 weeks since the sprouted, but I noticed they are still small. The leaves are not too large and the long stem seems like it's drooping to the ground. Some even look like they are wilting away. Am I watering too much?
I started them indoors in April and here we are in May. -
I grew birdhouse gourds among my sunflowers on a trellis fence this year. The gourds didn't even sprout until July. But then, they got going and did well. I had powdery mildew on the vines, so I sprayed with Neem oil and that got rid of it. Now they are drying in my garage window. Can't wait to make birdhouses out of them!

Oh u mean those two earlike stuff sticking out at the corner of the seeds? Thanks for the wish!

Soak your seeds overnite in warm water. It really helps them to germinate. When you plant them in the ground make sure the water you use is warm. Works for me. It also helps to clip off the ears on the wider side of the seeds with a finger nail clipper. Good luck.

I have been growing gourds for a few years now and just love them. They definitely are happiest and best hanging from a tall beautiful arbor like that. When it is covered and they hang down it's wonderful to walk through them.
