I have to try to make something like this! Gourds are so easy to grow too. Add a few tromboncino squash, some swan gourds, Jack be little pumpkins...

Looks like a pretty strong support they have there. Just think how much all those little gems would weigh! What a cute idea.

Wow! That is really cool! I wouldn't mind picking the gourds, but I would hate to be the poor soul that has to clear the vines off that structure!

You could probably wait until they were crispy then use a torch. Use up some of those pyro tendencies.

Don't deny it Monty.....I know that's why you love to bbq! ;)

My first thought was hitting my head on all those gourds! I'm only 5'10" but with the angle of the picture that's all I could think of.

That's seriously a great shot though, I wonder how tall it really is? And how its supported

I would love to have one of those outdoor lounge beds underneath all of that loveliness. The height is a mystery. One moment I think it is tall and the next not. What is that on the ground?

It looks to me like a cattle panel arch and the ground looks like it's covered with frost cloth or some kind of weed barrier. Does look a bit low though.
