Turk's Turban Gourd Seeds Planting Guide

Turk's turban squash is a beautiful and unique variety of squash that is known for its turban-shaped cap. It is a vigorous grower and can produce fruits that weigh up to 10 pounds. Turk's turban squash is a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be eaten fresh, cooked, or canned.

To plant Turk's turban gourd seeds, follow these steps:

  1. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Turk's turban squash needs full sun to grow its best. The soil should be well-drained to prevent the roots from rotting.
  2. Amend the soil with compost or manure. This will help to improve the drainage and fertility of the soil.
  3. Sow the seeds directly in the ground in the spring after the last frost. Sow the seeds 1 inch deep and 2 inches apart.
  4. Water the seeds regularly, especially during hot weather. Turk's turban squash needs about 1 inch of water per week.
  5. Fertilize the plants every few weeks with a balanced fertilizer. Turk's turban squash is a heavy feeder, so it is important to fertilize it regularly.
  6. Harvest the squash when it is ripe. Turk's turban squash is ripe when the skin is hard and the cap is fully developed.
