Looking for about 20-30 seeds for my kids to raise for fun. Will trade some Snake, Birdhouse and Extra Long Handled Dipper Gourd seeds for some. All seeds are from "Rupp Seeds".
Thanks Tom

You've either got a lotta kids or lot of land, or both...LOL! LG's grow like crazy once they get going.
Email me and I can set you up, Duff

I do have four kids and 5+ acres. We raise 2 of the acres in pumpkins and gourds.

We are going to make a trellis out of the heavy gauge 16' long cattle pannels. Spacing two panels about 11' parallel with each other then taking four panels and arching them from one to the other. Total height will be about 9-1/2 feet. They want to plant all kinds of climbing vines(gourds). Maybe 20-30 is too much????

There's nothing like experience for learning! One LG plant every four feet will give you a jungle look over time, and that's with plenty of pruning! LOL! Your trellis sounds great. Mine is 10' and had one LG plant latch
onto an overhanging pine tree and went up another 10' easily!
