    Growing Ash Gourd Seeds: Sowing and Germination Time

    When you should sow Ash Gourd seeds really depends on when you wish to harvest them. In India, you can either sow them during the summer months - i.e. February to June - or during the months of September-October. The soil you are using should ideally be a mix of sandy and loamy soil, giving the seeds a perfectly balanced pH level. However, if you are starting the seeds indoors, you can start them in seedling trays with Coco Peat, which is a soilless mixture that will allow them enough space to grow and mature well.
    Keep the space around and above them consistently moist and ensure that they are receiving at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. With the right care and understanding of their individual needs, your Ash Gourd seeds will germinate within 5-10 days.
    You will be able to harvest your Winter Melon within 100 days after planting seeds. So, grow with confidence and enjoy a bountiful harvest in your home garden!
