Hello!

I am growing bushel gourds in my garden, and I read that I should trim the plant in case I want huge gourds. But I still don't know how much of the vines without gourds I should cut? What if I remowe every vine and leave only the "way" leading to the gourd? Can I also cut the main vine after the junction where the sidevine with the gourd connects?

Please write some words if you can aswer these questions!

Thank you!
