I had them growing along a public road and had not checked them for awhile and noticed several very large ones right along the road I had been watching were missing. I guess someone stole them for Halloween decorations. Needless to say, I wished a pox upon their house
The vines were incredible and when I had picked all the ones I thought were big enough for PMs the total came to 60!! I've proabably got 100 big enough for bluebird/wrens/tree swallows.
You never know for sure how thick they will be before they dry but I certainly had a lot more gourds under the vines than I thought.
starling shooter, they really do take over a fence, kind of fun to grow and watch them grow so fast. Hope most of those 60 will be used to help our purple martins! And the rest for the other nice birds. Good luck
