Re: MtMan-List: Gourds

[randybublitz@juno.com (RANDAL J BUBLITZ)]

I had a great idea once...I was going to grow gourds, make canteens, and
get RICH...ha ha...  My first crop failed, the vines grew well and
flowered, then the fungis rot set in... I tried again the next
year...same result!  Talking to a local farmer, I found that what I
suspected was true.....Living on the coast (as I do) subjects the large
leafed vines to dew nearly every night, hence the rot.  13 miles south,
on the inland side of the coastal range, is an ideal climate for gourd
growing.... but, alas I live on the western side and can not grow gourds.
  Next idea...?     still poor, Hardtack
