When we had our homestead, one of the seed catalogs had Birdhouse Gourd seeds and Luffa Sponge seeds.
These seeds sounded fun so I grew luffas and birdhouse gourds on a barbed wire
fence in full sun. Both plants did well.
After these dried, our daughter had fun painting the birdhouse gourds. She gave both the birdhouses and the luffa sponges as gifts to her friends.
What kind of gourds have you grown and how did you use the gourds?
