All natural gourds. Access ports and clinger SREH.
32 of 32 gourds occupied 2020

The story is that some hunting dogs were chained in the yard of this now abandoned home last winter. The chains burst some gourds and scattered and planted the seeds in the yard. It's a far better yield than me and my brother get cultivating a patch.
