As autumn begins, pumpkins, squashes, and gourds reach their peak season, becoming popular choices for decoration and cooking. These plants belong to the cucurbitaceae family, which includes a wide range of fruits and vegetables known for their hard shells and edible interiors. Marion Ripaud, a well-known gardening expert and author of the book La main verte de Marion, will host a live video session this Friday, October 9, at noon. During the session, she will address questions from viewers about growing and caring for cucurbitaceae plants. The event offers an opportunity for gardening enthusiasts and home growers to learn practical tips on cultivating these autumn favorites. Ripaud is expected to cover topics such as soil preparation, pest control, and harvesting techniques. Viewers interested in participating can tune in online to interact with Ripaud and gain insights into successful cucurbitaceae cultivation. The session is part of a series of educational events aimed at promoting sustainable gardening practices.
