They will take over
Reviewed By: toni (cooleemee, N.C.)
These things will take over your entire garden, so plant them in a space of their own. I was shocked by the production of these plants. We put in two seeds, they both took and covered about a fifty by twenty foot section of my garden, chocking out everything in their path.They produced over one hundred gourds apiece. The whole neighborhood now has bird houses and we gave some to the local girl scouts. We still ended up having to set a box out by the road for free.

Great 4-H project
Reviewed By: Kris (Waverly, Iowa)
These were super easy to grow! We grew them on a fence and set up a circle of snow fence also. We let half stay on the vine stay in the ground through the winter and the other half we harvested (leave enough stem to hang by) and dried in the garage, just setting on a shelf. We found a little less "mold" with the ones we harvested and brought in. In Spring we dried in the sun and then soaked it in a huge tub of bleach water for 2 hours. Scrub lightly as they come out of bleach. Hang to dry in sunlight. Drill hole size for wrens, shake out seeds (these can be saved and planted) then spray paint, acrylic paint, etc. End with a coat of clear sealer/spray paint.
