Carolina Gourds &Seeds
Most of the giant gourds are more than 1/4 to 3/4 inch in thickness at the stem end, 16-23 inch diameter and 12-16 inches high. When completely dry they will weigh approximately 10 pounds or less.
We have really nice martins gourds this year, nice thick shells. We also apple, banana, cannonball, basketball, miniature nigerian bottles, Tennessee spinners and many other small type gourds. We are also offering for the first time duck gourds seeds. This is a new gourd. I did sell some duck gourds two years ago but their seeds were not any where near my satisfaction. This gourd has been in development for 4 years and is producing pretty decent shapes. So, check my seed page if you would like to grow some. There is a limited supply. I will throw a picture out on a page so you can see what it looks like in a day or two. So check back then.
Crafters: These giant bushel gourds are very useful for making:
