They are growing right across the top rail of my 6 foot fence in my back yard & has attached it self all up & down that 6 foot fence ! Take a look !

It seems like everyday when we go out in the morning to gaze at our gourd garden we find a couple of more gouards that we didn't see the morning before. My husband looks around through the big leaves ! We found so far about 6 large bushel gourds in one aera !
