and when all else fails, hopefully these freaks will keep me smiling all year. these are the long neck gourds i direct seeded with seeds from last years gourds. there are plenty of them competing for fence supremecy and at this stage they are running fast and will be down the fence in each direction, and allowed to grow directly on top of the solarium roof to the left of this pic and also up the ivy on the backside of the house and down the fence line to the right 30' and then they will take the corner another 15' to the garage. hopefully get many hanging in the phallic shape that are so much fun to bring up to the bar and harass the ladies with and are also good for making hanging birdhouses as my dad has 2 families of finches making homes in his 2 from last year. i also like the ones that hang slightly and grow down to the ground with the curved necks but a nice flat bottom so they stand on their own like swan. they are a beautiful green and beige gourd and these seeds were taken from the greenest of the green ones from last year. shits n giggle plants are great for when all else is going wrong to bring a whimsical smile to you face.
