[@mootoochunasamy389]

[@baganrbagan]

[@tasnimreza2310]

TY for the video! I just about want to cry when I accidentally snap a vine that I later find has fruit on the end. 😖 Learning experiences in the garden. hehe I'm excited to have some gourds set on my two plants this year, but they're having a problem where the tendrils are browning all of a sudden. The rest of the plant appears ok, if not slightly stunted in growth. The tendrils closest to the base of the plant have been affected first. The problem has not reached the tip of the plant yet. Those tendrils are still green and reaching. That's how I came across your vid. I was trying to figure out what the problem might be. I have treated them with Neem oil soil soak mixture for any fungal infections. I have a meter to check the parameters of the soil, and have been checking them a few times a day, but still scratching my head. I've enjoyed hand-pollinating these plants, and hope they are hearty bc I am not finding the info I am trying to thus far.

Keep sharing your knowledge, good work keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@jollyvaghela9465]

Hi do you need to hand pollinate each female flower? Or once we get fruit setting on the plant we don't need to hand pollinate further? Thanks

[@puppetville-bethobrien4139]

How are your flowers open during the day? Also I've all male flowers. I just happened to get a plant because it was a hitchhiker with a plant I bought. I'm so glad it did but would like it to set fruit and get a gourd😅 I'm dying to see what type it is

[@candice4341]

Really helpful.

Hi my bottle gourds are outside and now i think I have some white flies on the leaves, how can i sort this out pls?

[@TuftyMcTavish]

🎃 Good tips here. I knew how to recognise M/F flowers and how to hand pollinate them, but I had been nuzzling my make flower in the female parts, IYKWIM 😉, rather than flicking the pollen in. Must try and remember that pro-tip for next year.

[@catherinematthews9573]

Hi does this also apply to squashes? Growing something called honeyboat which is wrapping round beans as well so is it strangling them? Also trying to grow butternut and patty pan which aren't setting so will try abd pollinate them. Also my friends given me something called bitter gourd or Kerala? Any special treatment required?

[@MyFamilyGarden]

Hi Catherine, yes it applies to all squashes. Kerala likes a hot humid environment so ideally inside a greenhouse

[@catherinematthews9573]

@@MyFamilyGarden thanks for that. Kerala moved to greenhouse. Friend called it very ugly which I felt a little harsh but it's isn't the prettiest thing I've seen

Thank you for sharing this very useful video. My bottle gourd plants are going crazy and I have 15 set gourds on one of the vines! Some have 6 to 8. Should I leave all of the fruits to develop or should I remove some. They’re in different sizes and stages of development . What is the maximum number I can leave on a large plant? Thank you so much.

[@MyFamilyGarden]

If they're at different stages let them keep growing and pick as each one matures. Don't forget to keep feeding the plants

[@53peace]

@@MyFamilyGarden thank you. Will feed them.

[@chefz2]

Assalamu'alaikum, is it normal for some female flowers to appear but then never open and rot away?

[@tomwright1714]

When to pick? Have one well over a foot long

[@misssimmi2]

My plant which is very healthy as mentioned in my previous message to you, has no female flowers at all. I had a few around July but non survived even though I hand pollinated. I usually get around 10 - 12 bottle gourds every year but this year it looks like there's not going to be any! Whenever there is 1 or 2 female flowers, they turn yellow and die before the flower opens. I've never had this problem before and I'm very confused

[@MyFamilyGarden]

Check your Watering, weather it's over or underwaterd Give it a higher potassium feed to encourage blossoms

[@RR-vg5hg]

Brother motin Currently my khudu are too many to count, but they just won’t grow bigger than about 4 inches, they just die, help!

[@MyFamilyGarden]

try giving the plant a high potassium feed, something like a tomato feed

[@Knight8365]

Hi Motin; I recently found out that pumpkin leaves are edible after trimming off spines and ribs. Being from the same Cucurbit family, are gourd leaves edible too? Do they taste good and is there prep to do? Thanks for all the great videos!

[@shunaari]

Yes you can eat them. We eat them all the time. Prep is just Like pumpkin leaves.

[@MyFamilyGarden]

Absolutely they are, they're less spiky than pumpkin leaves but remove the strings in the same way, and pick the younger tips and leaves

[@Guaca-moe-lee]

Can you die from eating bottle gourd? I am harvesting mine today and i hope i dont die from eating it

[@Nursemomma7]

The flower keeps browning for me 😢

[@toetotoe7803]

I love your videos and i love you brother. I wouldn't be who i am with out telling you that Christ is the way. The rapture will come soon and it will be blamed on invasion. Be well be safe and love each other. Peace be upon you.
