Birdhouse Gourds

My gourd vine is well on its way to world domination! Some people are afraid of aggressive vines, but I embrace them. It's almost as if they are alive -- grabbing onto things and lifting themselves up. The best part about this crazy vine is that if all goes well, I will eventually have a bounty of beautiful birdhouse gourds for drying and hanging.

Because this is my first time growing gourds, I did a little research and found some fantastic sites about this plant turned bird abode:
