Well, not sure why but suddenly, all my pumpkins and birdhouse gourds and little ornamental gourds are FINALLY getting their act together. We only have 3 of the larger pumpkins on the vine, and most of those plants are not doing too well… water has been a real issue. Just not enough.
But the gourds and all have babies all over the place! And the mini pumpkins are going to town. That will be fun.
Definately will be planting all gourds, squash and pumpkins very close to the water next year… along with cukes! They are doing poorly as well…
But the “Mixed Ornamental Gourds” seeds I got from Guerney’s is doing well… and it’s going to be fun to see all the types we end up with. I think they will look very fun and fall festive in a pretty bowl on the table or here and there in the Moby… I hope we get a couple good birdhouse gourds because Maggie and I want to dried and paint them for next year’s expectant parents in our bird station…

I love gourds.
