Are the new prices on LG seeds, due to the idea of grafting? Peace, Wayne

No grafting here, but I have other ideas to get better roots that I'm going to try this year. Finally having some success last year with terrible weather has me more enthused about growing gourds.

Hi Wayne, Glad to see your support of the Lunatics. Thank you very much.
We sure do grow melons up here in Canada. I know we're a long way from Ky, but Bryan & I have both grown melons over 200# & we live only 30 min apart. Our PB is 222#, but the Ontario record is 239#. Not bad for the "far north". LOL.

Linden, Mi.,

Long gourd plants are the most fun plant to grow, ever.
The more you trim them, the more they grow, just fun, fun, fun, plus you get to see a fruit grow 2 to 8" a day.
