They also need full sun exposure and well-draining soil.<\/p>\n<h2>Plant the seeds<\/h2>\n<p>You can either start your Sayote gourd seeds indoors or sow them directly into the ground when the soil has warmed up. The seeds should be planted about an inch deep and spaced at least three feet apart.<\/p>\n<h2>Water regularly<\/h2>\n<p>Sayote gourds need regular watering during their growing season, which is typically from early summer to late fall. Make sure the soil stays consistently moist but not waterlogged.<\/p>\n<h2>Fertilize occasionally<\/h2>\n<p>You can fertilize your Sayote gourd plants with a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during their growing season to promote healthy growth.<\/p>\n<h2>Harvest the gourds<\/h2>\n<p>Once your Sayote gourd fruits have reached maturity and turned brownish-yellow in color, you can harvest them by cutting them off the vine with a sharp knife or pair of scissors.<\/p>\n<p>With these simple steps, you&#8217;ll be able to grow your own Sayote gourds and enjoy their unique shape and versatility for yourself!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sayote gourds, also known as bottle gourds or calabash, are a type of plant that produce large, bulb-shaped fruits.
