| Baker Creek lists red kuri as C. maxima. Are they the same? |

| it certainly looks like the same one. thanks for pointing this out to me. i'm gonna treat it like a maxima anyway . . . many thanks, |

| It is absolutely a C. maxima you can tell from the shape of the leaves on the vine and from the shape/texture of the stem. |

| many thanks, weirdtrev. you're absolutely right. the fedco catalog had a great explanation in it. |

| Wow thank you so much for that link! I am a member of bigpumpkins.com but I have never seen those pictures. I have seen tunnels like that done with gourds on a much smaller scale. But that tunnel is just massive and covered in pumpkins/squash. I have always wanted to make a huge tunnel and cover it with vining fruits, I really wish I had more space :( I think I might try a much smaller arch over my driveway (I won't grow anything edible) just because that is wasted growing space! |
