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!
