I am using bushel gourd for rootstock, how much before the watermelons do I plant the gourds? Hole insertion method. Thanks.

Yeah, the bushel gourds need a bit of a head start.

I am trying moschata squash for rootstock. How much time before the start of the watermelons if any. Thankyou!

The squash is much faster you can plant them the same day.
