I have the gourd seeds and I have soaked them.

Any suggestions about growing them?

Where would I plant them? What position?

Do they need to have hanging spaces?

I was just thinking that hanging spaces would cut down on mildew problems, if your area is prone to them…my pumpkins used to meander through neighbouring trees, including a bogan…

A lot of people grow cucmbers on trellises. To my knowledge most cucurbits will grow over support. Pumpkins are quite strong enough to hang pumpkins in free air.

I had no ideas about pumpkins.

I know the gourds will hang off a vine though.

Not sure which way it goes, but either gourds are a form of pumpkin, or pumpkins are a form of gourd.

Good luck Ms Spock

They are all a form of cucurbit.

Wish I had taken photos of my friends Queensland blue that came up in a compost heap and climbed an Agonis flexulosa jumped across to the garden shed and along the fence.. hanging large Blue pumpkins all the way.. suspended in mid air.

Anyone can do it.. if they can keep the water up to the pumpkin.
