a nice casual morning spent in the patch. got my long neck speckled swan gourds running nicely and training some to go right and some to go left. along the front of the solarium i tied a piece of steel rope from the corner fence post to another 25' to get that strong one running left a good stretch to produce nice hangers of the main. the hanging one have perfectly round smooth bottom with no flat spots and make the best birdhouses and bowls. i have two friends out competing each other with air brushes and wood burners and are now also officially out of their gourds and into growing them too. they will get the best shaped ones to have fun with all next winter.....hopefully that is. earwigs took out the middle sprouts early as they live in droves under that old wooden deck. i put in some more seeds and have small ones filling in, but really no needed. these on the fence alone will cover 45 foot of fence to the right and 40 feet with the cable to the left. fun plants.
