Minimum: 10+ seeds

Ideal for gardeners of all levels, these gourds bring creativity and sustainability together, offering a fun and rewarding growing experience.

Key Features:

  • Large, Hollow Fruits: The Birdhouse Gourd is renowned for its large, durable fruits that can be easily transformed into birdhouses, containers, and decorative items.
  • Crafting Potential: Perfect for DIY enthusiasts, these gourds can be dried and crafted into birdhouses, bowls, ornaments, and more, adding a rustic touch to your home or garden.
  • Drought Tolerant: This variety is naturally drought-tolerant, making it an excellent choice for gardeners in drier climates or those looking for low-maintenance crops.
  • Easy to Grow: Whether you’re a novice or an experienced gardener, Birdhouse Gourds are easy to grow, requiring minimal care and attention.
  • Organic and Non-GMO: Our seeds are organically grown and non-GMO, promoting a healthier garden and environment.

Growing Tips:

  • Planting: Sow seeds directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 70°F. Plant seeds 1 inch deep, spaced 24-36 inches apart, in rows 6 feet apart.
  • Soil: Grow in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Adding compost or aged manure to the soil before planting will encourage healthy growth.
  • Sunlight: Birdhouse Gourds thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
  • Watering: Water consistently, especially during dry periods. Once established, the plants are drought-tolerant but perform best with regular watering.
  • Support: Provide a sturdy trellis or fence for the vines to climb. This will help keep the gourds off the ground, ensuring they grow into their characteristic shapes.

Harvesting Tips:

  • Ripeness Indicators: Harvest gourds when the vines begin to die back and the stems turn brown. The gourds should be fully mature, hard, and have a uniform color.
  • Curing: After harvesting, cure the gourds by placing them in a warm, dry, and well-ventilated area. Turn them regularly until they are fully dry and the seeds rattle inside.

Crafting Uses:

  • Birdhouses: Once dried, Birdhouse Gourds can be hollowed out and transformed into natural birdhouses. Simply cut an entry hole, clean out the inside, and hang them in your garden for a rustic, functional birdhouse.
  • Decorative Crafts: These gourds can be painted, carved, or stained to create unique decorations such as bowls, ornaments, or vases. The possibilities are endless, making them a favorite among crafters.
  • Natural Containers: Use hollowed gourds as natural containers or storage vessels, adding a touch of nature to your home decor.

Medicinal and Culinary Uses:

  • Medicinal Use: While Birdhouse Gourds are primarily grown for crafting, they have a history of use in traditional medicine for their anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties. However, they are not typically consumed and should be used with caution.
  • Culinary Use: Although not commonly eaten, some cultures use young, tender gourds in cooking. Mature gourds are generally inedible due to their tough, fibrous texture.

Fun and durable
Color: Flag, Size: 6 Inch, Color: Flag, Size: 6 Inch
I have a 5 month old teething Whippet puppy and this toy is a favorite. She loves carrying it around by the straps, playing tug, and trying to chew it. I think it’s pretty tough and durable for someone her size. I could see how a shepherd might destroy it quickly, though. I was surprised to find you have to inflate it, but the pump and needles are included and it hasn’t lost any air over several days of rough play. (I kick it and toss it to her. We tug with the straps. She carries it everywhere.) The material feels like a heavy duty soccer ball, just smaller. It’s the perfect size for her. I’d definitely buy it again.

It's a (smaller) soccer ball with nylon straps. Will no last long for aggressive chewers.
Color: Black Green, Size: 8 Inch
As the item title states, it's a soccer ball with straps. It feels like a soccer ball, but smaller and doesn't make any noises. The 8 inch size just right for my 50 lb dog. He can't get his mouth around the ball, but can bite down on the straps as we kick it around. He also plays and tosses it around by himself. It's also easy to clean. It's a good item, but suffers from two issues. 01) The nylon straps are tough, but not as durable as I though. My dog is aggressive chewer and has managed to chew them up a bit. 02) There is a nylon strap that is longer than all the others, so he tends to focus on that one. After about 15 days of playing with hit, he's managed to chew that strap up to the point that it's almost falling off. It would be nice if all the straps were the same, larger, size.

Highly recommend
Color: Black Green, Size: 8 Inch
I was skeptical that it would hold up to our aggressive chewer puppy (staffyX) - especially during teething. But it has survived past teething into adult chompers and is still fantastic! Its his favorite outside toy, especially the tags make it fun (and those have been holding up well too). If/when it fails, I'll buy another one.

great design, poor overall quality
Color: Black Green, Size: 8 Inch
My dog loves these balls. The "tags" are a great design. The problem I have is the quality as they aren't tough enough. He goes through them pretty quickly tearing off the tags and puncturing the ball. He doesn't get that these actually cost money! Each one also comes with a small pump, which I guess is great for a one time buy?, but man, if you don't own a pump just buy one and keep one. I have no use for several of these cheap pumps. How about offering the pump as an add-on for a dollar or two?

Ummmm🙄 not indestructible!
Color: Yellow Green, Size: 6 Inch, Color: Yellow Green, Size: 6 Inch
I have a Aussie doodle ( 1 1/2 yr old) so I decided to get her this one for Christmas and she loved it (she plays soccer with my grandkids-so I thought it would be a perfect gift and the colors are so cool green and yellow) however ..if your dog is like mine, she busted it within two days first tried chewing off the handles so I decided to cut the rest of them off-then proceeded to tear one of the pentagons entirely off and finally completely busted it… which made her very happy, but I was very sad!! If your dog is not a chewer and does not stop until she tears it apart, especially if it has some kind of noise maker which this does not-it’s a great ball and really well made! She loved it from the minute she got it played with it-wouldn’t let us take it away from her! It is made and looks like a real soccer ball. So I will have to keep searching for an indestructible soccer ball🙄😁
