do you remember this? we hollowed out a dried gourd to make a drinking gourd and decided to plant the seeds. we knew that they were a little bit old and might not sprout, but decided to give it a try anyway. well several weeks passed and all we got were a few grass sprouts. B had such a good attitude and was just pleased that something green had come from her efforts. so she continued to care for and water her baby grass. and it is a good thing she did. had we given up on those cups of dirt we would have missed out on this:
the gourd seeds finally sprouted! i guess seeds are like people...they are just a little slower when they get older. :o)
we have a total of 3 sprouts so far. and i have a feeling that we will have a large gourd harvest this year. we might have to go into the gourd bird house business! one thing leads to another...everyday gift: new sprouts

yeah
Simply amazing.... I thought for sure nothing would grow from those old gourds. Way to persevere B!
We'll have to see who can grow the strangest shaped gourds this year. Let me know and I'll give you a few pointers...
Another successful project by the Z's. So glad patience is a virtue and B has some!! ;o) Never give up, little gardener! Loveyou, Grammy
