How To Grow Winter Melon Or Ash Gourd In Grow Bags

[@charuchandioksingh464]

I just started growing them...brought seeds from India and now the seedlings are two weeks old. This video is right on time. Thanks!

[@lovepeace29981]

My friend had grown this in her terrace garden using only and only brown leaf compost. She got 19 ashgourds each weighing more than a kilo. Seriously, this plant doesn't expect too much from us.

[@aadhvikdhruvinsettaigal5826]

Somebody telling that we should not grew up the ashgourds in house is it correct

[@papayafruit5703]

selvisaraswathi vasanth that's a wrong notion . You sure can grow Ash gourd

[@onemanlegend4690]

When to sow the seeds please ... which month

[@ganh222]

@@aadhvikdhruvinsettaigal5826 In India always someone will tell something shouldn't be grown in your garden. I was told I shouldn't grow oleander, breadfruit and what not.

[@nonexistenty4152]

Thank you so much for this message sir/ma’am 🙂

[@swetajha2930]

Was in ground floor apartment and just gave few seeds to squirrel. Within few weeks, I saw beautiful big plant and leaves and 3-4 fruit too after couple more weeks

[@CaliforniaGardening]

Wonderful

[@nonexistenty4152]

Thank you so much for this video sir I bought these seeds recently and will be planting them soon. Your video has provided me very good guidance really. I will be using your guidance for growing the plants

[@CaliforniaGardening]

Best of luck

[@ragingfire3585]

Thank you . I have planted the seeds today. I hope it grows fine in N.California weather :) Ash gaurd has known to cure any stomach ailments (Best for people with IBS)

Looks like you took more than 6 months to make Video ... KUDOS to you on being so persistent and patient in making this video.. GREAT job !!!

[@CaliforniaGardening]

Thanks you. Most of my videos span weeks, if not months or years. The pomegranate video was shot over 5 years. The pineapple growing guide, 2 years, grapes, 2 years and so on. Glad you like the videos!

[@nonexistenty4152]

I agree with this comment. Such a wonderful effort truly 🙂☺️

[@sleepydreamers9186]

My uncle grows these in his backyard. He isn’t a gardener, so he just lets it grow naturally without any fertilizer. They get huge! He always cuts one winter melon into 3 pieces to share amongst relatives. We put it in soups!

[@anujanakiraman6210]

This video is just in time! I harvested a 5 kg winter melon today. The volunteer plant grew from seeds that ended up in the compost. Didn't add any fertilizer. I called it the mystery vine because I couldn't figure out what plant it was until the fruit started to appear. 😊

[@ESHAAN8]

I've one grown plant by itself nd got 3 big gourds till now nd have more coming up

[@smitasshetty1807]

Same here mine too popped up with the composting pot which was layered with mud and saw this fruit after two months initially mistook it for cantaloupe... But thanks to this video I know now but will have to wait for 4 more months.really worth the wait.

[@abdulmusavvirali3434]

Where can I get seeds, I want to get big Ash gaurds

[@tonimeow3071]

Oh my gosh seeing this brings back memories, my mother would grow winter melon when i was younger, and they used go be huge, we had a bunch of them the size of toddlers and she would stack them up in a pile as if they were logs

[@dwarakanights2717]

I too saw in my uncles home

[@TnT_F0X]

I already have some planted, nice looking at the finished fruit. My dad asked me to plant these, looks like a honeydew variety, cant wait to taste!

[@gunjankhandelwal4569]

[@vinnettepope8255]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful teaching information video presentation on Ash gourd.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@richNfit4life]

Do you recommend a 5 or a 10 gallon grow bag to grow the ash gourd melon? Can you grow more than 1 ash gourd in a single grow bag, say 2 or 3? If I grow them in a raised garden bed, is there a recommended distance between plants when growing them in a garden space? This video was well made as you had examples ready to go at each stage of the process from seed to harvesting of the melon. Nicely done. Thank you.

[@ramkisuryan]

Yes. Am growing this in our vegetable bed. I might see flowers soon. I will try to post a video tomorrow

[@bodyandsoulinconstanttrans9190]

thx guys! I live in Sweden, do you think its warm enough here in the summer to grow? I mean some summers we don't have so much sun, just raining and cold

[@susanjohn7463]

Once again great presentation ...easy to follow! Love your video

[@dreamingrightnow1174]

Wonderful video. Thank you. It was so interesting to see it from seed to harvest and even a little about eating it. I'm hoping to learn about fermenting them, but your mention of cooking them in a lentil dish is intriguing..

[@robertacattan3449]

I love these

[@happyjt234]

For each plant that goes into the ground (or grow bag), does the plant only produce one gourd at a time, or multiple gourds spaced a little time apart? Or does the plant wait to produce one gourd completely at a time then start a new gourd? How do we know when they are ready to harvest? Big thanks from Hawai'i!!!

[@CaliforniaGardening]

It produces multiple gourds just like watermelons

[@dwarakanights2717]

For pumkin.... 2 appeared simultaneously......surprisingly I saw it

[@cmlouie4398]

Thank you for mentioning specific month, March to begin initial seed germination.

[@CaliforniaGardening]

Any time!

[@humansandanimals6352]

In India it is used to make melon candy. Very famous all over India . It can also be mixed with urad ( pulses) to make badi. Badi is used with other vegetables to mix it with . Gives a unique taste.

[@crisvillanueva316]

We call it kundol here in the Philippines, as always your video is very detailed, thanks for sharing.

[@ramkisuryan]

Great Video. We have a big vegetable garden and currently have 6-8 Ash Gourd/Winter Melons growing pretty well. Was thinking when do we actually pluck the same? - which you covered - when we can see the ash powder on the surface. Thank you.

[@sukhdevkaur9470]

Which place do you live?

[@dwarakanights2717]

That's great work. I did the same with pumpkin. I got 4 fruits after caring it for an year. Its hard to find time for gardening & preparing the soil. No help from anyone. Who will take care of my children if I use that for gardening

[@treesamichael3779]

what size are the grow bags you use to grow the ash gourd?

[@tommcfall1274]

Great info, these are available at a local indian market but they are not cheap. Ash Gourd is incredibly healthy even just raw or juiced. When should these be planted?

[@CaliforniaGardening]

Spring is ideal (April in SoCal)

Do you sell these plants already started? I’m not having any luck with seeds

[@abhishekdatta4194]

Good to see a video on ash gourd cultivation. Doesn't this grow in the California summer? In the plains of India, ash gourd grows most of the year round. We preferably sow seeds in the rainy season (June-August). Planting in warmer conditions reduces the time to harvest. The gourds are harvested in 3-4 months.

I have a tiny plant that I started from seeds I’d saved from a store bought ash gourd. I see the leaves are a lighter green with tiny holes on one of the leaves, I don’t see any pests though. On the whole the sapling looks healthy. Is this normal? It’s been a month since sowing from seed. Does it thrive in full sun?

[@ribsnorter]

How regularly do you have water the roots or the soil where you are growing it , during seed stage and after leaves start coming up? Also as you indicated, would it be advisable to start it during spring or summer rather than in Oct in southern California when it has started becoming lil cold, though there is decent sun too. thank you.

[@CustomGardenSolutions]

What does it taste like. Is it sweet like cantaloupe or honeydew melon?

[@CaliforniaGardening]

This is not sweet, its a vegetable to be cooked..like a green pumpkin!
