Gourds

Remember this from a few weeks ago?


It now looks like this:

I have to go out daily to tuck it back into the trellis and make sure it is not invading the neighbors yard.

And, we have our first gourd!


The problem is, the gourd is over 6 ft off the ground and it is pretty heavy. I wonder if the vine will be able to support it. We have a ton of blooms too, so we could have quite a crop if they all start moving along! We may have a new medium for Nanny...she can go from painting rocks to painting Bird House Gourds. :D
