If you have a growing season of at least 90-100 days and plenty of space, you can be the
proud owner of several hard-shelled gourds (Lagenaria siceraria), sometimes known as Birdhouse
Gourds, by fall.
The vines will quickly cover a trellis, hide a chain-link fence, wrap around trees, and then keep
growing! Despite the vine's need for vast amount of space, it's a fascinating plant to grow that adults
and kids love. The resulting gourds can be made into birdhouses, feeders, baskets, dishes or
planters.
The vine requires a long hot growing season of 90 - 100 days. Since gourds demand a long
growing season, they can be started indoors 4 weeks prior to planting outdoors. I have successfully
started gourds in regular pots with soil and transplanted them to the garden although instructions I
have seen on the internet say that gourd seeds should be planted in individual containers, such as
peat pots, since their roots will not like being disturbed during transplanting. You may want to try
some each way to see what works for you.
