Do I need to feed

Connie Kru
15 years ago

I have nice plants, I have hand pollinated and have lots of little swan gourds. I am trying to sit them up so they develop nicely-I hope that is the right thing to do and the other question I have-does fertilizing at this point help the fruit grow, or is that just for the leaves and main plant.

I fertilized when we planted and I have used a spray on fertilizer about one month ago.

Any help is appreciated

Connie
