Grow gourds - PEM BB gardening.wood.gourds

This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the wood badge in Gardening.

As long as we're growing a lot of food, let's try growing some other things.  Gourds have been selectively bred for centuries to create useful shapes.  Let's try our hand at growing some!
