A High-Yielding, Nutritious Variety for Versatile Culinary Use

The Yash Ash Gourd is a premium variety known for its robust growth, large fruits, and exceptional shelf life. Its subtle flavor and high nutritional content make it a favorite for both home gardeners and commercial growers.

Key Benefits

  • High Yield: Produces large, heavy fruits with an impressive yield per plant.
  • Nutritional Value: Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, with cooling and digestive properties.
  • Long Shelf Life: Fruits can be stored for extended periods, maintaining freshness and quality.
  • Culinary Versatility: Ideal for making soups, curries, desserts, and traditional preparations like ash gourd juice or halwa.
  • Heat and Drought Tolerance: Thrives in hot climates with minimal water requirements.

Planting Instructions

Planting Season

  • Warm Climates: Sow seeds from spring to early summer.
  • Tropical Climates: Can be grown year-round with adequate care.

Planting Details

  • Seed Depth: Sow seeds 1 inch deep in well-prepared, nutrient-rich soil.
  • Spacing: Maintain 3-4 feet between plants and 6-8 feet between rows to accommodate sprawling vines.
  • Sunlight: Requires 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Care Instructions

Watering

  • Keep the soil consistently moist during germination and flowering stages.
  • Water deeply but infrequently once established, avoiding waterlogging.

Fertilizing

  • Before Planting: Incorporate organic compost or farmyard manure into the soil.
  • During Growth: Feed with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer during vine development and switch to a phosphorus-potassium-rich fertilizer during fruiting.

Support and Maintenance

  • Trellis or Ground Growth: Allow vines to sprawl or train them onto a sturdy trellis for easier harvest and pest control.
  • Pest and Disease Management: Monitor regularly for pests like aphids and beetles, and treat with organic neem oil or insecticidal soap if necessary.

Harvesting

  • Fruits are ready for harvest 90-120 days after sowing, when the surface develops a waxy coating.
  • Harvest with care to avoid damaging the vine or other developing fruits.

Enhance your garden and kitchen with the nutritious and versatile Yash Ash Gourd!

Stores Well Post-Harvest

I’ve stored one gourd for nearly 4 weeks with no spoilage. Just keep it cool and dry. Great for extended kitchen use.

Highly Recommended for Backyard Growers

You don’t need a massive farm for this one. Just a sunny patch, some compost, and support. Gives excellent yield in compact space.
