Yaaaaay gourds! This completely useless message has been crafted for the sole purpose of celebrating the gourd madness that is summer! I've got baby melons and squashes and vines all over the place, and I hope y'all's are doing as well as mine.
The birdhouse gourds are particularly fertile. This is my first time with this plant, so watching the little baby gourds spring up all along the vines is really cool. Of course, I overplanted, and so now I have vines growing all over my trellis, up my tomato supports, climbing the trees, growing over the bench, falling over the lawn...my Phx Az yard looks like the set of a Tarzan film! Once those vines get going they don't slow down.
To the fantastic person who asked for seeds - I haven't forgotten you, I've just been crazy busy with school and work. I have Sunday off, and will be sending your seeds then.
So, guys, when these eight million little birdhouse gourds ripen and fall, what should I do with them? Thanks to all their foliage, I already have eight million birds!
