Indian Gourd not flowering
This is the second season and my Indian Gourds are not flowering at all. Good vine growth, but no flower. Everything else in the same garden.... Tomato, Zuchhini, Eggplant etc. are flowering and pollinating

It might need more phosphorus and potassium. Or it could be getting too much water and a fungus is attacking the flower buds before they get a chance to bloom.
If you are already fertilizing, knock off the nitrogen. You might try a 0-20-20 fertilizer or something similar. 0 means zero nitrogen.

Solved. Adding if someone has similar problems.
Gourd need a lot of pruning. Prune any vine than is about 4 feet long and not flowering. Did that and now got flowers.... though a bit late in the season
