I like gourd, too. A few years ago, before I learned to grow gourds myself, I went to a gourds family to buy them. I was surprised when I got there. The mountains are full of gourds, and they are all big and mature. It's just that the gourds on the ground are lying in the ground like watermelons, almost none of them are straight, and they all grow into crooked melons and cracked dates. The farmer who grows gourd is the first year and has no experience. The gourd has grown into a watermelon. All the customers who bought the gourd went to have a look, sighed and left.
If you want the gourd to look good, there is no doubt that you must put on airs. Let the gourd lie on the ground at will, which is naturally uneven. Building a shelf is different. When the gourd seedlings grow to about one meter, they should be led to the shelf. When the gourd begins to grow to a certain size, try to hang it under the shelf. The longer the gourd grows, the bigger it gets. In order to prevent the weight of the gourd from being too heavy, the stem of the gourd will break and fall down. It should be hung with a net bag or cloth to help the gourd reduce its falling force.
The gourd with a shelf hangs in mid-air without any external interference. Even if occasionally some gourds don't grow smoothly enough, they will continue to sink, but they will grow more upright.
Need to be reminded that you must not plant too many gourds on the shelf. If it is windy and rainy in summer, it is likely to blow the shelf down. Therefore, when planting gourd, the spacing between plants should be arranged according to the bearing capacity of the shelf. In addition, don't be reluctant to pick some gourds, because there are many gourds, which is not only not conducive to the maturity of gourds, but also may cause damage to the shelves.
Anyway, if you want the gourd to look good, you have to put on airs.
