I have cherry husk tomato seeds and some dwarf french marigolds. Could I trade those for some tomatillos? email me at mamahack@hotmail.com if interested.

I have plenty of parsnip seeds if you're interested. I received them as a free gift from Baker Creek this year (packed for 09), they're Hollow Crown parsnips. If you'd like some, send me an e-mail and I can do a SASE. I don't need anything :) -Megan

when did yours start blooming? do they have the separate male and female flowers. mine just started blooming

Yes Too Many Pets-Cut entrance hole and put a few small drainage holes in the bottom for air circulation mostly, then hang and wait for an inhabitant. This isn't an actual birdhouse gourd. I had received the seeds in a trade and they were labeled turban gourds which they didn't turn out to be. They are the size of turban gourds so I'm assuming they were a result of cross pollination, as they're not the color or unique shape of turban gourds. Since these gourds are smaller than birdhouse gourds, I don't think a bird such as large as a purple martin would use them. Therefore, we cut a 1 1/4" hole to accomodate small birds such as wrens and chickadees.
