Corsican gourd FAQ
Should I soak gourd seeds?
Soaking overnight or lightly nicking the hard seed coat helps them sprout faster.
How do I dry Corsican gourds for crafts?
Leave them on the vine until the stem browns, then dry in a ventilated, shaded spot for 1–6 months until seeds rattle.
Do I need a trellis?
Not required, but vines are long; a fence or trellis saves space.
