The first Dinosaur gourds and Crown of thorns gourds from La Macchina Fissa pumpkin jungle.

Dinosaur gourds are slow at the beginning because they need a lot of heat to germinate and grow their first leaves, but WATCH OUT! they take over a summer garden. #lagenariasiceraria #dinosaurgourd #pumpkinparadise #checkbacklater #clarkspumpkinparadise #ilovegourds #cucurbitaceae #mezzogiardiniere #mezzocucurbitologo #clarkanthonylawrence (at La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeDjwwoI2vw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Lagenaria siceraria. Need an organically-grown green mace to whack someone over the head? I have twelve this year, and I am selling them at a special price of eight euro a kilo. They really could kill someone! Just sayin'. 😂 #mezzogiardiniere #greengourds #dinosaurgourd #lamacchinafissa #clarkanthonylawrence #pumpkins #pumpkinparadise🎃 #pumpkinsandgourds #provinciadimantova #growyourownweapons #italiangardens #cucurbitaceae #borgovirgilio #bagnolosanvito #parcodelmincio #associazioneculturalereadingretreatsinruralitaly #organicgardens #inmygardenthisevening #ortimantovani #ortifelici (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CShVevZIZ_a/?utm_medium=tumblr

Dangling dinosaur gourds at La Macchina fissa. They aren't growing much any more, but I hate to pick them if they might not be 100%ready. I want those seeds to sow again next year and to share this autumn! #dinosaurgourd #cucurbitaceae #savingseeds #coolplants #lamacchinafissa #mezzogiardiniere #gourds #autumngarden #italianholiday #retreats #readingretreatsinruralitaly #gardeninglife #instagardener #instagourd #mezzogiardiniere #semiscambi #semi (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFHhQK7F8P2/?igshid=5ajt9hxbi222
