What's happening in the field?

At the Missouri State Fruit Experiment Station

Gourds Planted

May 24, 2019 by Jennifer Morganthaler

The station is exploring Gourds to be grown and dried for use as a value added product.

On April 4 Luffa Gourd seeds were planted in the greenhouse. The luffa was planted in the High Tunnel on May 24.

May 24, 2019 a variety of additional gourd seeds were planted in the greenhouse.  Once large enough, the plants will be planted in the field.

 

The seeds were placed under the mist system.
