At the SC state fair this year, someone had a beautiful birdhouse gourd that must have been at least 20" tall. I was wondering if anyone had any seeds from anything like this that they would be willing to sell to me??? I grew some very small ones this last year and had a great time making them into birdhouses with my son. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the info Cojoe!

Does anyone have any Giant Pear seeds they would be willing to part with? I'd be happy to pay for them. Thanks!

Just bubble me if you want some seeds-I have plenty. Luke that had to be a wren house gourd seed you grew.

I didn't think you could dry the giant pear gourds for use as bird houses? I have some marten gourd seeds they dry very well. http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=192378
