Welcome to the weird and whacky world of GOURD GROWING, compliments of Gourdlandia. Yes, it's an actual place here in Ithaca, NY where you can learn to grow and craft with a wide range of gourd varieties. This is the brainchild of Graham Ottoson, who is obsessed with all her little (and big) gourd children, and gives us much food for thought (errr craft for thought of what to grow—because as Graham shares in the video, "Why would you ever want to eat a gourd?")....When we get to starting our vegetable beds at Flock, we may just want to grow some of these fine specimens. What crazy gourds would you recommend growing?
