Gourd can be planted in April-May in spring. Seeds need to be soaked in warm water to accelerate germination. Soils with deep soil, high fertility, strong water permeability, fertility and water retention should be selected for planting. After sowing, it needs to be placed in an astigmatism place, watered every 3-4 days, and planted in a shed, so that the gourd can grow.

Gourd planting method
First of all, the temperature of the growth environment of melons is well controlled. Cucurbits and melons are warm crops, and their seeds begin to germinate at 65438 05℃. The optimum growth temperature is 20-25℃. At low temperature, there are many flowers, the fruit setting rate is low, the growth and development at 9- 10℃ are blocked, and the transpiration at 36-38℃ is too strong, which is easy to premature aging.
We also need to water it on time. Pumpkin has developed root system, strong water absorption capacity, lush foliage and large transpiration, so it should be watered in time in case of drought. Water is most needed during flowering and fruiting. However, from the late stage of fruit development to before harvest, the water should not be too much.
Gourds should also be planted in sunny places, and gourds are resistant to weak light. In order to ensure high yield and high quality, it should be planted in an open and sunny place. Passing through the shade will affect the normal growth of melon seedlings and fruits.
In addition, soil is also the key to gourd cultivation. Cucurbitaceae and cucurbitaceae have strong adaptability, grow well in slightly acidic soil (pH 6.5-7), and choose sandy loam with good drainage for planting, resulting in higher yield.
