The vigorous climbing vines produce distinctive green gourds that develop a tough outer shell as they mature and dry. Once properly harvested and cured, the gourds can be hollowed, prepared, and converted into natural nesting shelters for Purple Martins. These unique gourds are suitable for gardeners, bird enthusiasts, and outdoor craft projects.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"eg-badges\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"eg-badge\"\u003ePurple Martin Birdhouses\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"eg-badge\"\u003eHard-Shelled Gourds\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"eg-badge\"\u003eClimbing Vines\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"eg-badge\"\u003eGarden Crafts\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- 2.
