Growing gourds into beautiful objects is a long process, but definitely rewarding. What I love the most is when they are in bloom, they truly look like plants from an enchanted land, and the moths come at night to pollinate them are fantastic creatures.

There is so much to experiment with when it comes to these beautiful plants. What worked the best for me is to leave them out in the snow until March, scrape off the outer layer that has rotted away in the moisture, and them leave them in the greenhouse for a while. I will also make a birdhouse and some other interesting things, so stay tuned!
