Bottle gourd seeds  -  Calabash seeds for planting
Long Bottle Gourd, or Lagenaria siceraria, goes by a few names in different cultures: calabash, läki, and doodhi. I decided to grow it as a new plant in my yard. I got completely enamoured with these gourds after learning about their many culinary uses and positive health effects. From the sowing of thirty seeds to the joyful harvest, here is my story.

The Long Bottle Gourd: A Picking Guide

It was the ideal complement to my kitchen garden because of its low salt and fat level, high vitamin C content, and high fiber content, according to the nutritional value.
These gourds were touted as a revitalizing crop because to their high water content (approximately 92 percent).
To Sow the Seeds:

I started by making sure the soil was ideal for growing gourds—well-drained and rich in nutrients.
Sunlight and Spacing: I sowed the seeds in full sun, following the spacing instructions (48 by 18 inches).
Tracking Development:

When the seeds germinated, they began to sprout, symbolizing the start of a long and fruitful process of growth.
When the vines reached a height of one or two feet, I staked them to help them climb.
