Description
The Pilgrim Gourd or Calabash is a running gourd.
It bears 3 to 6 fruits per plant, 18 to 30 cm in diameter and 20 to 40 cm long.
When it dries, it takes on a hazelnut color, speckled with brown and rust.
This variety is ideal for decoration and utensil making.
Sowing: in April, in pots in a light location (temperature 12°C), transplant in a sunny location in mid-May at 1 m in all directions for non-running varieties and 1.20 m in the rows and 2 m between rows for running varieties. Watering. Adding compost is recommended.
