Perhaps the most famous and unusual of the gourds, the Birdhouse/Bottle Gourd is the classic gourd for crafting.
These seafoam-green, hourglass-shaped heirlooms make adorable birdhouses! First let them dry, then cut a hole, remove their seeds, and wax to fashion the footlong Giant Bottle into an attractive avian hotel. Requires a long, warm growing season.
