114.5 Stivers long gourd in foreground and 139.25 Ansems in the background. I'm trying something different on these plants. I started them back from the trellis to try to get some extra rooting on the main. I will also try to get a couple of secondaries rooted as well. I plan to make cuts on the secondaries and use some rooting hormone powder to try for a super root system. The rest of the gourds will just go straight up the trellis. I use tall tomato cages to get the gourds up to the cattle panels that are bent into a U shape between 7' steel fence posts.
