| Comments: | Great web-site, this is my first year growing gourds and I didn't know when to cut them off the vine, your web-site directed me to the correct way to take them off and when to do it as well as storing for the Winter. I live in Florida so we don't have much of a winter to worry about. I plan to make bird houses for my grandchildren and gifts for friends and family.
thank you Wilma |

| Comments: | This is my second season of growing gourds. Have about 200 seedlings growing now. We grow on trellis and have had a great first season. Texas is a great place for growing gourds. Have lots of ornamental and birdhouses. Also one big bushel that originally weighed about 50 lbs or more now can lift with one finger. Loved your site... |
