(More customer reviews)Martin's are common here in the South, so much so, people put out these painted gourd houses on a pole, with about 50 or so hanging there for the birds. What an idea! Painted Martin houses, how these will sell at the Farmer's Market. Bought my paints, set up my netting, fixed a growing spot, bought some soil and phewy! The seeds smelled like I don't know what. Evidently they had been wet when they were packaged. Beautiful art on the cover, but nothing came from the seeds in my pack.

GOURD: Plant gourds if for no other reason than because they're fun! They come in a delightful, wacky array of shapes, colors, and sizes and are sure to bring a smile when you harvest them. Many will grow up fences and trellises, which makes them even more interesting and dramatic.
Martin House Gourd: One of the most popular choices for birdhouse crafting, this gourd is plumply shaped and donned with a short connical top. An attractive dwelling for many kinds of birds, Martin House Gourd's special namesake is from the martin, a sleek, usually purple-indigo bird that frequents North America during its summer breeding season.
Garden Tip: For best germination nick the seed and do not plant in wet, cold soil. To harvest, cut gourds from the vine about 1" above the fruit.
Drying Tip: Pick gourds when entire vine is dry and brown. After harvesting, gourds should be cleaned with soap and water, dried, and rubbing alcohol applied to the surface. Handle gently and turn weekly as gourds dry in a warm, airy place. Do not cut or decorate until completely dry and seeds rattle.
