I went through my gourd growing stage a few years back...
Amazing plants to grow, but you do need a huge amount of room if you grow more than one plant.
We had gourds coming out of our ears!
Every shed roof, even the miniature pony shelter shed, at Mia Bella Gardens had gourds on top drying!
Oh, and the trampoline was covered in drying gourds too.
Friends and family got decorated gourd gifts, and people found out we grew them and wanted them for their own crafts or cultural uses.
A lot got given away, and then the corn field was harvested, and the hungry rats decided they were delicious too.
So that was the end of the gourd growing era.
I might try again sometime, with maybe just one plant on a trellis, or espaliered.

This gourd was painted a lovely aqua colour once the top was removed.
Holes were drilled around the top edge, so it could be decorated with beads and cord.
