| GOURDS
Lagenaria siceraria unless stated otherwise. Grown like squash. Sow where plants are to grow after last frost, or start indoors 2-4 weeks beforehand and transplant carefully. Do not let seedlings become pot-bound in containers. Space the plants 18 inches apart. Trellising is suitable, especially with smaller-fruited varieties. Provide full sun, ample moisture, rich soil and a lot of heat. Pick after first frost and allow to dry indoors or in a dry location. 20 seeds per packet.

Tennessee Dancing or Spinning Gourds
(C. pepo) A tiny gourd just 2" long! They are bottle-shaped and green and white striped- turning tan when dry. This unique heirloom was sent to us by Mr. Junior G. of Primm Springs, Tennessee. They used to be popular there, and his Maw had said that, when she was going to school, kids would bring 'em to play with. Dancing gourds spin just like a top.
Item Code: GD101
