I spent a few days this week planting flowers in my yard. And I still have much more to do. Also we had a record breaking temp this last week with a high of 93º!! Crazy I say!! Now today it's cloudy, rainy and only 52º!! The norm for right now is the lower 70's!!! I wish the weather would make up it's mind!!!
Today I got my hubby to cut a hole in my apple gourd to turn it into a bird house for me!! Here it is hanging in my burning bush! I think it looks like a pretty cozy house to live in! hehe
I thought about painting it, but decided I liked just the way it looks, al naturale. I couldn't believe how many seeds were inside when I cleaned it out! Call me crazy, but I counted them! LOL There were 320!! So I planted a few today and will see what happens!! Excited!! You can get them to climb on a trellis or they can grow on the ground. They just need lots of room to spread out.
So, since I have so many seeds I thought I would give them away. Just contact me via email tambo331@mchsi.com and I'll give you my mailing address. All you have to do is send me a SASE (self address stamped envelope) and I send your 10 free seeds!!!!
Here is what my apple gourd looked like last fall in my fall gathering!

I have grown gourds, bottle neck, but never the apple. I love how your gourd looks as a bird house and I am sure the birds will love it too. I would love to have some seeds, I can't believe you actually counted them!!LOL. My e-mail address is jjn@maine.rr.com and I would be happy to send a self enclosed stamped envelope. Thank you for your generosity. Hugs, Julie.
