When is the best time to plant gourds?

1. Planting time in the South: The climate in the South is warm, and gourds are planted in February and March in spring. At this time, the temperature and humidity are suitable for the growth of gourds, and the survival rate after planting is high. In some southern areas, there is also a saying of "March 3, plant gourds", that is, plant gourds between late March and early April, because gourds are temperature-loving plants and grow best in the temperature range of 20°C to 30°C. , this temperature range is the suitable temperature for the growth and development of gourds.

2. Planting time in the north: The climate in the north is colder, so gourds will be planted in mid-April. If the weather is cold, they can be covered with mulch to keep them warm. Autumn cultivation is carried out in the open field in August, but this is the hot and rainy season, and the seedlings grow and develop quickly, so the row spacing of the plants is larger than that of spring sowing.
