Here’s a few photos of the gourd field that I took this morning while mowing the turn rows.

Thank you to all who served and sacrificed.

🇺🇸❤️Memorial Day ❤️🇺🇸

Today we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave everything for our freedom. Their sacrifice is the reason we get to enjoy moments with family, friends, and the freedoms we often take for granted.
May we never forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice for this country. ❤️🤍💙

“Home of the free because of the brave.”

I was surprised to find this big bottle gourd yesterday while turning vines. It has to be a volunteer that got left when we hoed them.
The second picture is a more accurate representation of the bigger of what’s set at this point.

This year’s crop is doing well. The vines pretty much have the ground covered and are setting baby gourds.

Here’s a video of this year’s gourd field that I took this morning.

I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is I got this year’s gourds worked out and re-fertilized last week. They are growing and looking good. The bad news is that after doing my taxes and realizing what it cost me to grow last year’s crop and recognizing it’s going to cost even more this year, I am going to have to go up on my prices. I’m hoping to get by, by just going up on my small gourds from $3.50 each, 10/$30.00 to $4.00 each, 10/$35.00 and the extra small Martin from $2.50 each, 10/$20.00 to $3.00 each, 10/$25.00. All larger sizes and $1.00 gourds will remain the same for now. If inputs continue to rise I may have to do different in the future. The price changes will take effect on May 1st and hopefully, between now and then I’ll get the website updated. The photos are of this year’s crop. I ended up having to plant the same spot where they were last year because I couldn’t burn off a new spot due to a burn ban. The first photo shows all the volunteers in the middles and the second photo is after I disked the middles.
