10 seeds per pack.

BOLBY is an F1 hybrid bottle gourd variety suitable for late-season sowing. It produces light-green fruits with a distinctive bulb or pear shape under suitable growing conditions.

It can be grown in rooftop gardens, kitchen gardens, grow bags, large containers and open soil beds. The vine requires fertile, well-draining soil, consistent moisture, adequate sunlight and strong climbing support.

Growing Instructions

Sowing season:
20 June to 15 August

Recommended for late-season sowing in warm-climate areas.

Sowing method:
Sow the seeds directly in the final container or growing location. Nursery preparation and transplanting are not recommended.

Soak the seeds in clean water for 4–5 hours or overnight before sowing. Sow two seeds approximately 1–1.5 inches deep.

After germination, retain the healthier seedling and carefully remove the weaker one.

Recommended containers:
Grow one plant per container. Suitable options include:

  • 12 × 12-inch grow bag

  • 11 × 10-inch grow bag

  • 12-inch clay pot or a similarly sized container

Make sure the container has adequate drainage holes.

Soil:
Use rich, soft and well-draining soil. A recommended mixture is:

50% Bhalu Mitti
50% organic matter, preferably vermicompost

Sunlight:
Provide approximately 6–8 hours of sunlight, preferably including morning sunlight.

During extremely hot weather, keep newly sown containers in bright shade. After germination, gradually introduce the young plant to direct sunlight.

Climbing support:
Install a strong bamboo, metal or net trellis at an early stage. Guide the vine upward and allow enough space for the fruits to hang freely and develop their natural bulb or pear shape.

Watering:
Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the upper soil layer begins to dry.

During rainfall, make sure excess water drains quickly from the container.

Feeding:
Mix vermicompost into the soil before sowing. During active growth, apply a suitable vegetable fertilizer according to its labelled instructions.

Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer, as it may encourage excessive leaf growth instead of balanced flowering and fruit development.

Pollination:
Male flowers commonly appear before female flowers.

If natural fruit setting is limited, hand pollination may be carried out early in the morning. Transfer pollen gently from a freshly opened male flower to the centre of a female flower.

Female flowers can be identified by the small immature fruit behind the flower.

Plant care:
Maintain proper spacing and good airflow. Remove weeds and yellow, weak or damaged leaves when required.

Protect young plants from intense afternoon sunlight during extremely hot weather. Avoid overcrowding and standing water.

Harvesting:
Harvest the fruits while they are young, tender, smooth and light green. Avoid leaving them on the vine until they become overmature.

Frequent harvesting can support the continued development of new fruits.

Important Safety Notice

These seeds are treated and intended for sowing only. Do not use the packaged seeds as food, animal feed or for oil extraction. Keep them out of the reach of children and animals.

These fit very nicely, are comfortable, and work for my wide feet!
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Brown
Once I learned while shoe shopping in my youth that I needed wide-sized shoes, I wasn't able to easily choose from any shoes I saw in the store. I usually have to go find the wide widths and have to deal with the limited styles they have. Shopping online has been hit and miss, too. Sometimes, shoes are advertised as wide width, but end up still being too narrow. These shoes fit me just right. They were not too tight at the toes, gave good width at the arch, and the opening was large enough that I didn't have to undo every single lace just to get my foot in. They also look nice, and I'm sure will take a decent polish. Also, note that this does say it's an Oxford shoe, but it does have the open lacing and is more of a derby-style shoe. This also helps with sizing for my wide feet. If I didn't already have a pair of black shoes, I'd look at picking one of these up. My only reservation with these is that the soles are not dark-colored to complement a more formal style. I feel the white makes them a little more casual. The sole is also more transparent/opaque coloring at the heel and underneath, which you can kind of see-through, so keep that in mind. It's not fully clear, but is kind of transparent, which I was not expecting. I think it also shows where it picks up dirt as you wear it. Just more of a style cue one way or another. As a reference, I buy the 4E wide and Extra Wides in New Balance and Skechers. I also have a hard time getting any good fit in Nike shoes.

The quality is excellent for the price
Size: 10, Color: Silver-pu
I am absolutely in love with these DREAM PAIRS double bowknot heels—they are stunning, elegant, and even more beautiful in person! From the moment I opened the box, I could tell these shoes were going to be a showstopper. The double bow design is so feminine and eye-catching, and the added crystal rhinestone detailing gives just the right touch of sparkle without being over the top. The open square toe is super flattering and modern, and it gives the shoe a stylish, high-end look. The ankle strap adds extra stability and keeps the heel secure while walking, dancing, or standing for long periods. It fastens comfortably without digging into the skin, and the buckle feels sturdy and well made. The heel height is perfect—high enough to elongate the legs and give that confident, dressed-up vibe, but surprisingly comfortable to walk in. The insole has a nice cushion that makes them easier to wear for parties, weddings, or nights out without feeling like your feet are dying by the end of the night. I wore these to an event and got endless compliments—everyone thought they were designer! They photograph beautifully and add a glamorous touch to any outfit, whether you're wearing a dress, jumpsuit, or even tailored pants. The quality is excellent for the price—the materials feel durable, the craftsmanship is clean, and nothing looks cheap or flimsy. The bows hold their shape perfectly and the stones stay secure without falling off.

Beautiful and comfortable!
Size: 7.5, Color: Champagne-pu
These shoes were not only beautiful, sexy and cute but they were comfortable!! I have pretty thin feet but I cannot normally wear heels. I can only wear heels for about a half hour max.I walked in these heels almost all night!! I could not believe it. The only reason I changed was because my feet kept slipping forward (sweaty feet -full disclosure) so if I had not forgotten the slip pads, I could have wore them longer. I received so many compliments. I loved the way they sparkled too. My fave heels yet!!! You won’t regret buying them. The fit is comfortable. The front strap is a clear plastic but the bow is made out of a material that is durable and pretty (does not look cheap.) The arch support is comfy and the strap around the ankle is secure. Dream Pairs never disappoints!
