I am wanting to know if I can grow a bottle gourd as I want to make my own gourd banjo. These type of gourds are plentiful in US but am unable to ship one here. So I am wondering if one can be grown here in WA
Thanks so much for any info on this.

Answer:
Hi Lili, Gourds are just pumpkins, so they are easy to grow. They are annuals and it is best to sow them in September…it could be a little late now. don
