Bushel Basket Gourd – Lagenaria Siceraria

Description

This gourd can reach from 30 to 50 pounds before it is dried. The size that it reaches will depend upon the soil it is grown in and the growing conditions. Supply it will fertilizer and well tilled soil, and I put cardboard beneath it to keep down the weeds. I also place a board, or plastic dish beneath them to keep the out of the moist dirt. They will take some time to cure and curing instructions will come with your seed packet. 120 days. Weighs 30 to 100 lb. and measures 12 to 20-in. across. Turn from green to light tan when matured.
