I took a gourd canteen making workshop with Cody Lundin at Winter Count this winter. I brought back a lot of seeds from my gourd and some of my classmates and planted them this spring having started them in the house. I did everything wrong from forgetting to water them to waiting to long to transpant them to the garden. Despite my best efforts to kill them they proliferated much to my excitment.
The gourd seeds you spread around the Hollow have sprouted.
