               Do the bushel gourds flower on the main vine or only on the secondaries?

               I observed male flowers on the main vine for the first 10 to 12 feet. A lot of females and males on the secondary vines. Then Females showed up on the main vine. They grow similar to squash.

               You will need to set fruit on one of the first lobes of a secondary like a long gourd.

               I agree Hank, and the BG on the main tends to be smaller the the 1st one on a side...Just my observation.
