Comments (4)Greg-I think that there would most definitely be a market for them.I for one would love to have a supplier closer to me.I live in West Texas and have been getting mine off E-bay,usually from the Mid Western states,and shipping is out of sight.By the tme I pay the auction prices,which can go as high as $10.or more per gourd,depending on the type and size,then the postage,I can't make much money selling them.I think if you have reasonably priced,good quality gourds,they would sell.There is a lady in AZ that I buy from occcasionaly that might be able to tell you more about the commercial aspects of growing them.She is in Picture Rocks,AZ.If you will e-mail me I will tell you how to contact her. As far as types of gourds,I think we all have our own preferences.For me,I use med.size snowmen gourds,med and large kettle gourds,pear,egg,all sizes of apples and bottlenecks.Sometimes the apple gourds are hard to come by.Don't know why.I have added the link to some of my gourds to give you an idea of what I have been using.

Comments (1)I've done a lot more research and condensed things a bit... *Find early + dwarf varieties of strawberries, sugar snap peas, and tomatoes. *Find most cost efficient lighting -Learned that just 50w of CFLs can grow cherry tomatoes or strawberries (been done a lot with the AeroGarden which has 2x 26w CFLs) but of course that's with indoor sunlight from windows. Any input would be hugely appreciated :)...See MoreBean 'Art' and some info on growing
Comments (6)Great assortment. Bountiful plants sunburn here, and I can't get Provider to produce at all. I think of them as New England beans. Contender is a good early bean for the South, but turns leathery in cool fall weather. Nice to know that Hilda has some heat tolerance. I can usually only do pole beans in spring or fall. The best common beans I've found for seriously hot weather are some of the new commecial heat-tolerant ones like Brio and Festina. Romanette is the best relatively broad type I've found for heat. Romano Gold, surprisingly, is somewhat heat tolerant. Maxibel is the best filet type I've found for our climate, but you still have to harvest them before the really hot weather sets in....See MoreLars
