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.
will like growing them.
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.
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.

Concord Seedless grapes look great. They are growing beautifully.
I have never started my garden from seeds, but after watching several of your youtube videos I decided it was time. So far, I have been able to start the tomatoes, squash, green beans and pumpkins. Everything I planted has come up. I plan to buy more seeds in the future, as this has boosted my confidence in the garden.
I am kind of stunned. I planted these shortly after they arrived in spite of unusual wet, cold weather in southern Ohio. Both vines are flourishing. Currently working on a support system and a way to protect them from the local varmints before they're part of the buffet I seem to plant every spring.
Nice big phat roots on 'em too, honestly the bed wasn't even prepared for how big the roots were. Which is a good "problem" to have if I'm being unclear
This is only my third go with gardening and so naturally I thought: “I oughta plant a few extras just in case”. Shortly after sown, 22 of 24 of the sunspot dwarf sunflower seeds have germinated! No clue where I’ll put them all yet but it’s a problem I’m happy to have. 🙂 Note:
One was not in the photo, I hadn’t moved it over to the larger pot yet. Also, If you’re a first time grower of sunflowers, please know this will not be enough room for this many of them. This photo is of a temporary home for them for just a few days while I sort more space. I didn’t plan to have so many growing this year. #Grow Bigger
