RE: Long Gourds
Hi Marv M.--I can't believe your message----I have grown LGs for 2 years--no
odor and the many visitors never mentioned an odor--nor my wife who has a
sensitive nose.
LGs are easy and simple to grow--6-8 plants I would guess equal the work of
one AG plant.
Think you are pulling a hoax here and now I think you have pulled me in.
I enjoy a good joke--Congrats.--AE

Long gourds are not so easy to grow. I tried them and decided to stick with
pumpkins. The gourds have an unusual odor which I don't really like. I was
very
good at growing the vines but not so good at gourds. I had vines everywhere.
Later I found out that they require aggressive pruning much like pumpkins. I
even tried growing them in PVC pipe to get them to be long and skinny. It
didn't work. I think I will try again next year but will be out begging for
good
seed first. And thinking about it. Maybe Ray will tell us some of his long
gourd
secrets.
