Grow a birdhouse! Birdhouse gourds have been used for centuries by aboriginal tribes in Africa and are still used today to create homes for birds. The gourds once fully dry will have the seeds able to shake loose, then be dumped out of the hole you make for the entrance. The gourds can even be painted for additional fun.

Finally, success!

I've previously had zero luck growing birdhouse gourds. They just never took off. Planted 3 from MI Gardener and I've got about 30 gourds hanging off my garden fence. I've even had to tame them a little so they won't take over my tomatoes.

Perfect!

All the seeds from MIGardener have an amazing 99.9% germination rate for me, and the outcome is beautiful produce for our table and pantry! Growing birdhouse gourds are fun to watch as they sprawl along my fence. I get a large number of them each time and I dry them out over the winter and make birdhouses from them in the spring.

Im no artist...

... but I don't think the birds will mind. Easy to grow vine. I let the gourds decorate (and dry) on the mantle though the fall. Cleaned them out and painted in the spring.
