Harvested young, the fruits are widely used in curries, stir-fries, soups, and stuffed vegetable dishes. This productive variety thrives in warm climates and continues to yield throughout the growing season. Being open-pollinated, seeds saved from healthy plants will grow true to type under suitable conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"612\" data-end=\"635\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"612\" data-end=\"633\"\u003eGermination Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"636\" data-end=\"1057\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"rnqea1\" data-start=\"636\" data-end=\"707\"\u003eSow seeds \u003cstrong data-start=\"648\" data-end=\"669\"\u003e2–3 cm (¾–1 inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e deep in fertile, well-drained soil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1g4lh4n\" data-start=\"708\" data-end=\"786\"\u003eMaintain a soil temperature of \u003cstrong data-start=\"741\" data-end=\"762\"\u003e25–35°C (77–95°F)\u003c\/strong\u003e for best germination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1i0fx6l\" data-start=\"787\" data-end=\"838\"\u003eKeep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"zowsco\" data-start=\"839\" data-end=\"886\"\u003eSeeds typically germinate in \u003cstrong data-start=\"870\" data-end=\"883\"\u003e5–10 days\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"zqzxc\" data-start=\"887\" data-end=\"974\"\u003ePlant in full sun and provide a sturdy trellis or support for vigorous vine growth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1vgzysh\" data-start=\"975\" data-end=\"1057\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003eHarvest fruits while they are young and tender for the best flavour and texture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heirloom Seeds Of India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54014556930412,"sku":"rh67","price":5.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/5031\/5372\/files\/ridge-gourd-open-pollinated-seeds.png?v=1783761313","url":"https:\/\/heirloomseedsofindia.com\/products\/ridge-gourd-open-pollinated-50-seeds-pack","provider":"Heirloom Seeds Of India","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
