Giant Vegetables

Gourds

17 years ago

Would like to talk to someone about the giant (extra long?) dipper gourds. A fellow at church gave me a plant last year, and I grew two almost four feet long. Alas, I got stupid and used Miracle Gro until first frost, should have known better-yes, and they didn't "keep." This is the first thing my 16 year old daughter has shown any interest in helping me with in almost 10 years. Does anybody know where I can order true seeds for these and or giant bushel gourds? Thanks

On your search engine type in American Gourd Society, then click on links, then click on seeds.
The computer catalog at Pinetree does not list gourds.....Elder

As far as the 100 pound bushel gourd goes you can buy seed from "Henry fields" , and " Gurney's " from Yankton SD .

Thanks, everybody. Will check out these sites. Also talked to fellow who gave me the other plant, and he's going to try to find some seeds.
