Lance had I known you were going to grow bushel gourds I would have warned you that they need growing room..like a clear 100 feet if you leave them a la natural in growing. However they can be trimmed back as long as you cut at a junction and not disturb, if possible, the flowers that are forming tiny buds. Its like pruning a rose bush. Try trimming the long tendrils back a foot and see how that works. http://cubits.org http://cubits.org/gourds/ http://cubits.org/Diabetes/ http://cubits.org/DMEnterprises/store Tahlmorra lujhala mei wiccan (The fate of a man rests always within the hands of the gods) Quote | Post #852081 (1)

Thanks for the thoughts. We got several that are almost dried out, just not as big as hoped for. I may try again this year, but Skye and I also picked out goblin egg mixed gourds. We try different things every year. We are also going to try green popcorn, it actually is green kernels. There are some bushel gourd vines that came up on their own from dropped seeds, so I may leave 2 of those. The longer time in the ground and trimming might just give us something huge! Look and listen for the welfare of the whole people and have always in view not only the present but also the coming generations, even those whose faces are yet beneath the surface of the ground -- the unborn of the future Nation.
