Notes
'Hoargarth' gourd (Cucurbita pepo 'Hoargarth') is a vegetable for the food garden and for covering ground with its rapid vines. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. The warty gourds are prolific, and orange flowers open from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Brad's Atomic Grape Tomato tomato, Dolce Fresca basil, and Mexican Sour Gherkin cucumber.
