They grow similarly to squash but are often more resistant to pests because of their tough skin. Once established, the vines can quickly take over a garden, so plan accordingly. Apply a thick layer of mulch to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, which become difficult to manage once the vines start sprawling. Plants prefer rich soil.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511160176926,"sku":"GD108","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/gourd_birdhouse.jpg?v=1782397491","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.com\/products\/gourd-birdhouse","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
