Grow your own birdhouses with Cucurbita pepo 'Birdhouse/Bottle' Gourd seeds! Known for their sweet, yellow-orange flesh, these winter squashes bear distinctive longitudinal ridges and a unique acorn-like shape. This fast-growing annual climber can reach 2ft in height and extend up to 16ft, providing an abundance of gourds perfect for crafting into birdhouses.
Despite being classified as a winter squash, this variety shares a species with summer squashes, including zucchini and yellow crookneck. It thrives well when seeds are sown after the last frost and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soils. Get ready for a large harvest approximately 85 days after germination!
Preserve the harvested gourds in a cool, dry place such as a cellar and they will keep for several months. The seeds can also be enjoyed toasted, and the squash itself can be baked, microwaved, sautéed or steamed.
While not as rich in beta-carotene as other winter squashes, it provides dietary fiber, potassium along with traces of vitamins C, B, magnesium and manganese. This is a versatile and practical plant, offering both a creative craft opportunity and nutritious benefits. Grow your own Cucurbita pepo 'Birdhouse/Bottle' Gourd this season!
