Mini gourd seed mix
This is a festive and beautiful assortment of mixed seeds that include apple gourd, pear gourd, small orange gourd, yellow warted, flat-striped gourd, and crown of thorns gourd.
These are extremely easy to grow, not picky about soil, and trellis beautifully as they are petite and lightweight. Sowing these mid-May to early June will give you plenty of time to have a generous harvest of gourds to use as decorations for Thanksgiving or other fall arrangements. If cured over winter, they can be dried and used indefinitely or even painted and used for arts and crafts!
Your gourds can also be dried and used year after year. Dried gourds are also great for making Fall wreaths.
