Last summer mum tried to grow a few things. You saw the pictures of the morning glories last year. But she also wanted to grow some bird nest gourds. Only one plant survived
And she finally got one gourd to harvest.
It has been drying in the metal monster room, mum took it out to take a picture of it this past week. It still has some more drying to do as the seeds don't rattlel inside just yet. If things work out she will cut a hole in the thing so the birdies can get inside to nest, then hang it from a tree.

ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea! I hope it doesn't take too too long to turn into a birdie house.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a really cool birdie house.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun project for your mama.

Mom just bought those seeds to try and grow them too....maybe you better wish us luck=^Y^=Toy
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good project. I hope that it works out. We are going to try for lettuce and tomatoes and maybe some peas this year.
ReplyDeleteMom grew lots of sunflowers last year! The birdies loved them lots. She also grew 2 kinds of squash and got only 4 squashes off them to eat.
ReplyDeleteWe hope she hangs it where you can see it.

What a neat idea! Growing your own bird house sounds fun but must take lots of patience.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow cool, what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteAnything that attracts the fev-vers is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteMy mommie found the birdie nest house interesting. She's never seen one before.
ReplyDeleteYou're going to have a lot of good things to watch, Derby.
Oh that is an interesting thing to grow! Wonder if they would grow here...probably not, without a greenhouse.
ReplyDeleteWe hope that works for your mom...it's a cool idea!
ReplyDeleteOur maid has a black thumb! Good thing the butler has a green one - otherwise even our nip would not survive...
ReplyDeletePlants that makes birds nests. We almost wouldn't believe it.
ReplyDeleteWow! We didn't know you could grow birdie houses.
ReplyDeleteThen, after the birds build a nest, you can eat'em! Right?
ReplyDeleteOoo ... I like that gourd! Will you eat the birdies that nest inside, Derby?
