Not sure if they will grow to full size in this country, friend sent me some Gourd seed from Cyprus to grow in the green house, when the cold weather came gourds were only three inches and lost them, would like to try a few please.
Have PM'd you
Many Thanks

That is a great link, and quite encouraging.

I think they grow up to around 12"?
