In today's video we look at growing Ash Gourd or Winter Melon easily in grow bags. We look at growing winter melon or ash gourds from seeds, we look at how to care for your winter melon or ash gourd plants, how to harvest your winter melon or ash gourd. We also cut open a winter melon or ash gourd to show you how it looks like and how to save its seeds for the next season.
Also known as green pumpkin, the ash gourd belongs to the family cucurbitaceae in the Benincasa family of plants. Produces big sized green pumpkins that are absolutely delicious.
I just started growing them...brought seeds from India and now the seedlings are two weeks old. This video is right on time. Thanks!
My friend had grown this in her terrace garden using only and only brown leaf compost. She got 19 ashgourds each weighing more than a kilo. Seriously, this plant doesn't expect too much from us.
Somebody telling that we should not grew up the ashgourds in house is it correct
selvisaraswathi vasanth that's a wrong notion . You sure can grow Ash gourd
When to sow the seeds please ... which month
@@aadhvikdhruvinsettaigal5826 In India always someone will tell something shouldn't be grown in your garden. I was told I shouldn't grow oleander, breadfruit and what not.
Thank you so much for this message sir/ma’am 🙂
My uncle grows these in his backyard. He isn’t a gardener, so he just lets it grow naturally without any fertilizer. They get huge! He always cuts one winter melon into 3 pieces to share amongst relatives. We put it in soups!
Looks like you took more than 6 months to make Video ... KUDOS to you on being so persistent and patient in making this video.. GREAT job !!!
Thanks you. Most of my videos span weeks, if not months or years. The pomegranate video was shot over 5 years. The pineapple growing guide, 2 years, grapes, 2 years and so on. Glad you like the videos!
@@CaliforniaGardening AMAZING ...That's epitome of patience when most of the RUclipsrs are in a hurry to post a video ... Kudos ... Knowing this example of patience from you will help me work upon myself tooo 😊😊😊😊 !!!!
I agree with this comment. Such a wonderful effort truly 🙂☺️
Thank you so much for this video sir
I bought these seeds recently and will be planting them soon. Your video has provided me very good guidance really.
I will be using your guidance for growing the plants
Best of luck
Oh my gosh seeing this brings back memories, my mother would grow winter melon when i was younger, and they used go be huge, we had a bunch of them the size of toddlers and she would stack them up in a pile as if they were logs
I too saw in my uncles home
Was in ground floor apartment and just gave few seeds to squirrel. Within few weeks, I saw beautiful big plant and leaves and 3-4 fruit too after couple more weeks
Wonderful
I already have some planted, nice looking at the finished fruit.
My dad asked me to plant these, looks like a honeydew variety, cant wait to taste!
Hey can u give me root i will pay

Thank you . I have planted the seeds today. I hope it grows fine in N.California weather :)
Ash gaurd has known to cure any stomach ailments (Best for people with IBS)
This video is just in time! I harvested a 5 kg winter melon today. The volunteer plant grew from seeds that ended up in the compost. Didn't add any fertilizer. I called it the mystery vine because I couldn't figure out what plant it was until the fruit started to appear. 😊
I've one grown plant by itself nd got 3 big gourds till now nd have more coming up
Same here mine too popped up with the composting pot which was layered with mud and saw this fruit after two months initially mistook it for cantaloupe...
But thanks to this video I know now but will have to wait for 4 more months.really worth the wait.
Where can I get seeds, I want to get big Ash gaurds
Thank you for sharing this wonderful teaching information video presentation on Ash gourd.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Once again great presentation ...easy to follow! Love your video
No I have not, but listening to a video of the health benefits of the Ash gourd I'll plant em asap, thank you so much. U answered most of my questions. DorothyG
Yes. Am growing this in our vegetable bed. I might see flowers soon. I will try to post a video tomorrow
Nice information. Thanks. I just put dry seeds in moist soil where sunlight comes in our balcony.
Place a thin damp tea towel under your chopping board to stop it from sliding side to side, as always your videos are very much appreciated, from Melbourne Australia, good on ya 👍
We call it kundol here in the Philippines, as always your video is very detailed, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for mentioning specific month, March to begin initial seed germination.
Any time!
Wonderful video. Thank you. It was so interesting to see it from seed to harvest and even a little about eating it. I'm hoping to learn about fermenting them, but your mention of cooking them in a lentil dish is intriguing..
In India it is used to make melon candy.
Very famous all over India .
It can also be mixed with urad ( pulses) to make badi. Badi is used with other vegetables to mix it with . Gives a unique taste.
Thanks for sharing, I love your videos . God’s blessings always Hallelujah Grace Shalom
Winermelon is an important ingredient in chinese culture especially in summer season, it can reduce your "body heat", and winter melon soup is family basic soup, so big thank for that!! so delicious and everyone should try it! I've made my wintermelon soup for someone if interested in, welcome!
I'm interested, can you tell the recipe
The Chinese crystallise it and eat it as a sweet. It’s delicious.
Anyone else from sadhguru?
thx guys! I live in Sweden, do you think its warm enough here in the summer to grow? I mean some summers we don't have so much sun, just raining and cold
Great video! Nice presentation from start to finish. I may look these up.
Hi sir love to see you growing Healthy vegetables .....
That's great work. I did the same with pumpkin. I got 4 fruits after caring it for an year. Its hard to find time for gardening & preparing the soil. No help from anyone. Who will take care of my children if I use that for gardening
Very yummy fruit thanks from India
Do you recommend a 5 or a 10 gallon grow bag to grow the ash gourd melon? Can you grow more than 1 ash gourd in a single grow bag, say 2 or 3? If I grow them in a raised garden bed, is there a recommended distance between plants when growing them in a garden space?
This video was well made as you had examples ready to go at each stage of the process from seed to harvesting of the melon. Nicely done. Thank you.
mine is oval and has a lot of needles that can prick your skin.
Great Video. We have a big vegetable garden and currently have 6-8 Ash Gourd/Winter Melons growing pretty well.
Was thinking when do we actually pluck the same? - which you covered - when we can see the ash powder on the surface.
Thank you.
Which place do you live?
I love these
nice video, beautiful plant. quick question (sorry not related to this vid) what time of year does ur banana tree fruit?
For each plant that goes into the ground (or grow bag), does the plant only produce one gourd at a time, or multiple gourds spaced a little time apart? Or does the plant wait to produce one gourd completely at a time then start a new gourd? How do we know when they are ready to harvest? Big thanks from Hawai'i!!!
It produces multiple gourds just like watermelons
For pumkin.... 2 appeared simultaneously......surprisingly I saw it
Gracias por la completa informacion de como plantar ese "melon de ceniza", vor a ver si ordeno semillas a Amazon. Desde San José, Costa Rica. Ahi luego le cuento sobre los resultados.
Very informative video thank u so much
Fabulous information and presentation!
Thanks for sharing
2.55 SO CUTE MELON
Yes.
I want to grow up ash goard
Chinese made them into drinks.
Yummy
Yes its great for juicing
@@CaliforniaGardening nope
It's shredded medium fine
Then cook.
Good to see a video on ash gourd cultivation. Doesn't this grow in the California summer? In the plains of India, ash gourd grows most of the year round. We preferably sow seeds in the rainy season (June-August). Planting in warmer conditions reduces the time to harvest. The gourds are harvested in 3-4 months.
How can I grew ash gourd in Gujarat.it can be possible? That ash gourd grew in Gujarat??
Thank you.
Good video.
Informative.
Thank you!
what size are the grow bags you use to grow the ash gourd?
Nice winter melon!!!
Great info, these are available at a local indian market but they are not cheap. Ash Gourd is incredibly healthy even just raw or juiced. When should these be planted?
Spring is ideal (April in SoCal)
Thank You! I am in Mesa AZ
영상 잘보고 갑니다 👍👍👍
I live in Southern Florida. It's coming into summer (late April) and days will be in the 90 degree range (32 C). Is it a good time to plant? If not, what it recommended?
Can you please share the information on the black bag in which you are growing the plant it would be needful as to where should we buy.
Similar plant called super all hybrid that I got from burpees.. in India it's called sambar cucumber. I have the seeds and the plant has been leading for 1 mth... I don't see any flowers so far... But it's vining and is healthy
How regularly do you have water the roots or the soil where you are growing it , during seed stage and after leaves start coming up?
Also as you indicated, would it be advisable to start it during spring or summer rather than in Oct in southern California when it has started becoming lil cold, though there is decent sun too.
thank you.
Can we plant in September in Sacramento California?
We grow this seeds in summar season and we sold to this in amritsar
Do you sell these plants already started? I’m not having any luck with seeds
Female flower is not coming what to do. There is lot of male flower. Pl help
I have a tiny plant that I started from seeds I’d saved from a store bought ash gourd. I see the leaves are a lighter green with tiny holes on one of the leaves, I don’t see any pests though. On the whole the sapling looks healthy. Is this normal? It’s been a month since sowing from seed. Does it thrive in full sun?
What does it taste like. Is it sweet like cantaloupe or honeydew melon?
This is not sweet, its a vegetable to be cooked..like a green pumpkin!
I heard it is used for a soup i believe its chinese in origin
This melon it's good for soup. We Chinese love it and it have a lots of vitamins.
No flavour
It tastes somewhat like a cucumber plus opo squash
What kind of weathering do I need in order to grow this you said warm so mainly in summer
This is a summer crop
Nice information
Beautiful melon❤ I live in Hawthorne Ca now in an apartment with a large balcony, those grow bags will be perfect. Could u tell me the best place for purchasing them?
Here you o, they are very cheap and great quality, 10 gallon fabric grow bags: amzn.to/2NnSy3h
@@CaliforniaGardening man u are awesome. I wait for your notifications always. Thank u for Sharing your knowledge
Looks beautiful, healthy but no taste
In our house we grow it in our garden. Some of it weight up to 10 kgs.
Wa..nuce
I know this is about growing it but in this time a year I probably can't, I live in southern california, any suggestions on where I can find it ?
It it sweet enough to eat raw like cantaloupe and water melons?
No it's not. You need to cook it
Hello, can we eat the seeds like pumpkin seeds or should they only be used to grow new plants?
Only grow plants from it
I transplanted 2 seedlings in a 25 gallon grow bag by mistake. It has grown big now. Should I remove one plant or both plants will survive together ?
Thx for the video, i have a question that means once the seeds are plantet and after harvest the wintermelon it will grow more wintermelons?
What is the size of the grow bag used ?
The seeds look like hairy or fuzzy melon. They are allowed to mature and are often confused with winter melon. I believe they are probably the same species, just a different variety.
Thank you so much. I learned a lot about gardening from your videos as I am a rookie gardener. I wanted to grow winter melon for a while.
Please let me know if you are having any giveaways soon.
Wow amazing
hello sir plz tell ...best month for growing in panjab...
Grow in March! By summer, you will have the ash gourds ready to harvest
I know about this from 3 years , but the problem is it's availability , this Ashgourd , we call it Kohla (कोहळ ) is rare to get !!!
Can the fresh seeds be directly sowed r they have to be sun dried n then soaked in water for few hours n then later on to be sowed? What to follow?
Do deers, squirrels, or bunnies eat them? I want to grow these but have too many animals.
No, I haven't seen these being eaten by any critters
Thank you 🙏🏽
Interesting. I've never seen anything like it. Looks like you need a hatchet to get inside of it.
Whatshould be the size of growbag
Hi, in Europe in Hungary can we grow it? Thank you for your video :)
can i grow butternut squash in the similar grow pot with similar soil like ash gourd
Hi, how big should the container be to grow 1 winter melon? Thank you.
Can we have your recipe with ash guord with lentil?
I live in Bakersfield California. Where can I buy this?
Is that a vegetable or fruit ? Is is sweet ? And lastly thanks loved the vid
It has seeds so it’s technically a fruit but you would use it in cooking as a vegetable. It takes the flavour or whatever you cook it in. It’s nice in curries, chicken soup, etc.
What time of year should we sow the seeds in Southern California?
Hiit is this d same as canteloupe?
Its the most recommended fruit by ayurveda. Can i plant now in October?
Following
Hi, can you give me some tips on how to grow this? I’ve tried for last 3 years but I’m not getting the fruit. By the time it grows its already winter and the plant dies.
I stay in SFO Bay area
S.f is very cold over cast, perhaps starting seeds indoors early in season?
Can you get a small cheap plastic green house? That would solve the problem by raising the heat for your plants
Which month did you plant the transplant outside?
Very helpful
Im trying now to grow them
Good luck!
Thank you for this video... but the link provided for seeds does not have 1 positive review ... most were saying the seeds they got were not for the Ash or Winter gourd
wonder if they will grow in Austria...
How do I know when its ready? Mine is starting to get the white ash on it. And its huge.
Hi what is the good time to grow winter guards?
