Dear California Gardening, I started watching your videos about a month ago and I am using your tips. I really like your channel because you have tips and you show harvests too. I subscribed. Thanks for telling how to grow gourds. Finally somebody tells how to grow stuff which most people don't know in a good quality, and decent way. In my garden, right now I'm growing kale, curry leaf, pineapple, chillies, Kabocha, Zucchini, broccoli, peppers, ginger, garlic, and celery. For these plants I used your tips : kale, curry leaf, pineapple, chillies, broccoli, peppers, ginger and garlic. I think you deserve way more subscribers. Thanks for this channel. Happy Gardening!
I'm new to gourds and I think I planted my gourds a little late but after watching all 5 videos it helped me understand it much better lolz. I now know next year when to plant them. thank you for theses very informational videos c:
I watching your video and have to leave you a comment . Its so interesting and especially I will plant bottle gourds and chinese okra for the very first time. I am looking forward to the other 4 parts of this little gourd serie ;) love love love! Thank you for uploading!
The skin of the Bottle gourds are becoming very hard so I have to harvest early.the leaves have become dull greenish with rusting sign(ie,brown spots at the edge and middle).Does the plant need Mgso4 & Iron? Two days ago I used Mgso4 and compost tea to the plant.Pl.advice me.At the time of planting, I prepared the potting soil using copeat,vermicompost,Neem Cake,kitchen compost etc.The volume of the pot is 5 gallon.As a pesticide I use Neem oil.
Beautiful explanation beautiful video filming and good valuable gardening tips. Thank you very much. I have felt that I have been with you in your garden .
I like to know where you get the seeds of these different types of gourds. We, in Gujarat, Vadodara District, call the sponge gourds as "Galkas" and they go very good with fresh green and tender black eye peas (peas) along with its pods, all cooked together.
Hi I love all the information you have shown in all your videos. I would like you to tell me which gourd has a white flower.( AND WHICH ONES HAVE YELLOW FLOWERS). Is it true that the white flower deter all the insects? Please I need urgent reply.
max0mail The Bottle Gourds had the white flower and other gourds had yellow flowers. I have seen (beneficial) insects around the white flower so can't say it repels them. Hope that helps!
California Gardening Thank you for the reply. story in the Quran about the prophet Unis who was swallowed by the wale and then the wale vomited him on the beach, God had grown next to him a gourd plant .he was eating it and using the leaves to cure his skin .the flower was repelling bad insects from him/// Please investigate the flower further. I love you man.

How do I get Snake gourd seeds to germinate? I understand the seeds need to be nicked and then soaked. Can you post a video on germinating them? Also how can bottle gourd and snake gourd be planted on the same trellis since the cucurbita family is notorious for cross-pollination. Thanks.
200nki I never had issues germinating snake gourd seeds by direct sowing int he ground. I never had to nick or scar them. Yes I always plant bottle and snake gourds in the same bed and never had any issues. As far as I know they wont cross pollinate.
Thank you for such an informative video,Can we grow Ivy Gourd from seed? How long will take from germinating from seed to harvest? Appreciate your input.
Info Online Ivy gourd is the only thing which I love and haven't been able to grow because they are propagated from cuttings. I will try and see if they can be grown from seed :)
@@CaliforniaGardening Hi my long melon specially when is very small its falling down after becoming black or brown colored. what should I do. Please help. my email: reven_5@yahoo.com
That looks beautiful. I didn't know about the milk. I should try that. Will that give the plant some calcium? I take the egg shells and compost and let the egg shell compost this compost I have it apart. Great video.
nery colon 1 Yes the milk does supply calcium as well. Its interesting how well milk works against powdery mildew, its as f the plants are given immunity to powdery mildew, they never get it again for that season. Nice to know you compost the eggshells. Thanks!

Hi in my plant the fruits are drying after they are little and turn yellow and fall off can you suggest
Its OK for this to happen in the early stage when the plant is not big enough. After a few dropped fruits they will start growing as expected
