Plant gourds if for no other reason than because they're fun! They come in a delightful, wacky array of shapes, colors, and sizes and are sure to bring a smile when you harvest them. Many will grow up fences and trellises, which makes them even more interesting and dramatic. Stunning, ornamental you'll fall in love with! Produces a large-bodied gourd with a slender, arching neck ending in a billed head, perfect for painting as a swan or goose. Plants in loose, rich soil. Plants need steady water and fertilizer. Glossy green shells speckled with white are pretty as is; for painting, let dry thoroughly and clean off outer skin with sandpaper. If you like the Birdhouse Gourds, then you must grow the Swan gourd! Pick gourds, when the vine is dry. Allow the gourd to dry in airy, warm location. Drying is complete when the seeds rattle inside. Dipper Gourds can grow on trellis or on the ground
