I have some extra seed from my 101" long gourd if anyone would like to try their hand at growing them this year. I will try and get as many out as I can just post if interested.

that gourd is nuts, and your property looks lovely.
cleared my inbox. should be all set now
Awesome. We call then long squash here (go figure) 
Goes great in soups and stews but you gotta harvest them a little smaller. Mine only average about 4 feet long with a couple pushing past 6 feet. I'll have to dig up some pics of my grandson holding one bigger than he is.

they sit FOREVER before rotting... you can harvest like a laundry hamper full of squash, and they last like 8 weeks. my brothers girlfriend cooks this amazing soup from squash and some spices and what have you.
gonna grow some one of these days.

they are edible but I don't really care for the taste. Just grow for fun. When they are small they are really hairy and have a funky smell when you cut them openHawaiianero said:Awesome. We call then long squash here (go figure)
these are cool as the flowers open at night and have better success with hand pollination. for anyone interested in growing

I was curious if there was a record for longest long gourd, and apparently there is: 139.25 inches

How neat! I gotta try this! pm sent.
Just an fyi to anyone who sent me their address. Seeds are all packed up and going out tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. The 2 feet + of snow we got has had me tied up. All the best. Cheers
Just checking in to see if maybe anyone I sent seeds to planted them?
Start asap if you can. I started mine back in April, they can take a long time to germinate.fiogga said:
