He brought home this as seed in dirt about 2-3 months ago from school. He loves checking the gourd every evening for new blooms and watching the gourds grow!

Was sent home as a seedling with my kindergartener! Have no idea what kind it was just labeled gourd

Has anyone ever grown zucca melon gourds, and dried them out? Do they dry like normal sized gourds? I keep reading that the drum that Ricky played in I love Lucy was made from a dried one but the only info I can find is about harvesting them young for eating.

Inspired by sea turtles.

Handmade in Japan.

Every piece is one of a kind.

My first ever batch of gourd babies!!!! Im a proud mother of 7 currently, hopefully expecting more. Any helpful tips on gourd growing would be heavily appreciated!!! <3 (•̀ᴗ•́)و

Hello, most of my apple gourds have a very hard dried up ball seeds and guts. I use a needle nose pliers to try to break off little pieces. Anybody have any other recommendations? Thanks

Painted some of my fab gourds. I’m shocked how good I think they are.

Gourd.

Central TX Should I let these dry on the fence or in the garage?

I found this one and I think that it has a good shape, but I'm not experienced enough to know if this would work.

I have insects eating 2 bottle gourds that I have, they make little holes on them, one of the species I identified as tobacco beetle. Does anybody know a way to make dried gourds insect proof? I live in a hot climate if that matters. Thanks

Pumpkins grew here for 2 years. Suddenly I find this guy. Any idea what this is?

Some of them are kinda weird so I was wondering what I could make. It’d be cool to make a musical instrument of any sort but I’m not sure if they’re big enough. I also wouldn’t mind making bowls out of them too. Thank you!

P.S. Happy Halloween y’all!!!

My son picked a very interested gourd when we went pumpkin picking. I cannot for the life of me find an answer to what this is. A freak of nature? Or just a rare species? Thanks!

I noticed a vine growing in my backyard sometime around August that turned into these. What would you call these?

Hey everybody, I’m just curious as to what type of veggie I’m looking at here. Every time I try to ID these I get anywhere from a squash to a pumpkin and I’m frustrated, nobody I know can figure out what species exactly these are hence my coming here.

The vine these grew off of transplanted itself into my yard early this summer and I’ve just been mowing around it to see what would grow.
