OTHER: These gourds grow up to 5 pound and average 8 - 12" in diameter. They are edible, but are not tasty and are largely used for decoration. They are open pollinated and attract bees, birds, & butterflies. I just discovered these wild colored gourds last year and knew I just had to grow them! They get a lot of attention because most people have never seen anything like it before!
