I love gardening and decorating gourds. So, of course I grow gourds! 😉 Here’s a bit of our 2016 harvest.
This year, three little packets of seeds produced enough gourds for me, for our daughter, along with a basketful for my aunt AND our favorite neighbors!
See why I love gardening! Sharing is such a delight!
I don’t want to tell you what seed varieties were purchased or where I found them because they were not true to the packets.
Cross pollination is very common with gourds. If I were a buzzing bee, I don’t think I could resist such a pretty flower! Shapes and colors can also become distorted depending on growing conditions.
This particular seed company must have had a lot of varieties very close together.
At first I was a bit disappointed, but honestly, aren’t they beautiful?
We have cattle panels along the outside of our garden.
They are perfect for supporting heavy climbers like gourds.
How often are you photo bombed by chickens or other pets? 😉 I think the cream colored ones might just be my favorites this year. ‘Can’t wait to show you my Autumn vignettes using gourds!
