Plant Identification: Garden Gourds

Using 3 of the 5 senses, sight, touch, and smell, you can easily identify your garden gourds before they fruit to find out which ones are growing.

This may not seem like an important skill to have, but a single gourd can grow over 20' long, include multiple branches, and take over over 100 square feet if you aren't paying close attention.

If your dedicated garden space for gourds isn't roomy, you may want to cut back more of your ornamental growers like Bottle Gourd to make room for your tastier edible gourds that grow later in the season like Wax Gourd, and this early identification will save you a lot of headache down the road!
